Why a Disability Inclusion Action Plan?

Published 26th November 2020

The Disability Inclusion Act 2014 (the Act) commits the NSW Government “to creating a more inclusive community in which mainstream services and community facilities are accessible to people with disability to help them achieve their full potential.”

The Act required the NSW Government to develop a Disability Inclusion Planopens in new window (NSW DIP) in 2015. It sets out how to create a more inclusive society across the state and requires public agencies in NSW to create and implement disability inclusion action plans (DIAPs).

The NSW DIP established four focus areas for DIAPs. These were developed in consultation with people with disability and provide a guide for all public sector agencies in NSW.

The DCJ is taking comments / feedback till 4 December 2020.
