Have your say: Department of Communities Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2022-2027
The Department of Communities (Communities) is seeking the views of Western Australians on its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2022-2027.
Your feedback will help Communities to finalise the plan, which undertook previous consultation with the community and agency staff.
Communities DAIP 2022-2027 is strongly aligned to the principles of A Western Australia for Everyone: State Disability Strategy 2020-2030, that aims to work towards a fully inclusive and accessible community.
This five-year DAIP will guide Communities to improve practice and policy focused on people with disability. It will also outline the actions, timeframes and responsibilities to be able to achieve set goals.
A final draft of the DAIP 2022-2027 is located on their website in PDF, Word and Easy Read formats, and is open for feedback.
