We’re committed to ensuring people with disabilities can fully participate in community life.

We’re updating our Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP), a 4-year roadmap to make sure our services, assets and events are inclusive for everyone.

The updated DIAP will focus on four key areas:

• Attitudes and behaviours
• Liveability
• Employment
• Systems and processes.

We’re working closely with people with lived experience to identify opportunities and develop actions that matter.

Before we make any decisions, we want to hear from you. The experiences and insights of people with visible and invisible disability, carers and service providers are invaluable.

We'll be building on the previous plan to create new opportunities to improve access and inclusion. The feedback you provide will help create a plan that reflects the needs of our community.
