The DAP sets out the department’s priorities and actions to advance disability inclusion. This includes addressing the barriers people with disability face in accessing:
- goods
- services
- facilities
- work opportunities.
The DAP also aims to:
- promote inclusion and participation in the community
- achieve tangible changes in attitudes and practices that discriminate against people with disability.
The priorities and actions align with:
- the state disability plan’s outcomes framework
- the Diversity and inclusion framework.
Other work is also underway to identify outcomes and measures that will help us track our achievements. We will include outcomes and measures in an implementation plan to go with the DAP.

People with disability, including those from diverse and under serviced groups, are represented and actively participate in decision-making processes within the department.
