Agency Disability Action Plans

The Disability Framework for Action 2005-2010 (DFA) requires each government agency, as part of their strategic and business planning, to prepare a disability action plan which sets out how the needs of people with disability will be considered in the design and delivery of agency policies, programs, services and facilities.

As at October 2008 all government agencies have completed the first version of their disability action plan.  These plans were launched by the Premier, David Bartlett on 3 December 2008, on the occasion of UN International Day of People with Disability.

Agency disability action plans identify specific actions to be taken to achieve goals and objectives that will improve outcomes for people with disability in the following areas:

  • Disability awareness and responsiveness
  • Accessibility of government buildings and venues
  • Access to information
  • Employment opportunities
  • Policy development and service delivery
  • Coordination between government agencies and the community.

The Tasmanian Government is appreciative of the contribution made by individuals and disability organisations in Tasmania in providing information and advice to agencies in relation to the development of disability action plans.

Disability action plans are a work in progress; living documents that will be developed and improved over time. Plans will be updated annually to demonstrate progress against specific actions.
