Hāpai Card – Launched in Christchurch in 2020 the Hāpai Card is now accepted in participating businesses Nationwide. Based on the application a card is issued which shows the icons (pictures) that relate to the person’s barriers. By presenting their card the person can expect to receive a customer experience that reflects the icons on the card. In many participating businesses the cardholder can get a discount, and where the card shows that the cardholder needs a carer, the carer will get a free/discounted entry/ticket.
