Australia's Disability Strategy

Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031 is Australia’s national disability policy framework. It is driving action at all levels of government to improve the lives of people with disability. It builds on the previous framework, the National Disability Strategy 2010-2020.

The Strategy’s vision is for an inclusive Australian society that ensures people with disability can fulfil their potential, as equal members of the community. The Strategy sets out practical changes that will assist people with disability.

In line with Australia’s commitments under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Strategy helps in protecting, promoting and realising the human rights of people with disability.

The Strategy has seven Outcome Areas. These are the areas people with disability said needed to improve. The Outcome Areas are:

• Employment and Financial Security
• Inclusive Homes and Communities
• Safety, Rights and Justice
• Personal and Community Support
• Education and Learning
• Health and Wellbeing
• Community Attitudes
