Minister's Disability Consultative Group

The Minister’s Disability Consultative Group (MDCG) concluded on 30 June 2025 as a result of the introduction of the Disability Rights Inclusion and Safeguarding Act (2024) that Act has established a Tasmanian Disability Commissioner who will establish a Disability Inclusion Advisory Council.

MDCG was chaired by the Minister for Disability Services. This group consulted and was advised by a range of stakeholders to support and foster an inclusive and accessible Tasmania for people with disability.

Consultations have included:

  • Feedback on the development and delivery of related disability services, policy, and programs
  • Sharing experiences of people with disability and their carers and families
  • Select issues of the Disability Reform Council (or the equivalent)
  • Outcomes of the Royal Commission into Disability
  • Input into the Australian Disability Strategy

MDCG has played an important role in advising the Tasmanian Government on access and inclusion for people with disability. The legacy of MDCG’s work will continue through policy, practice and people’s real-world lives.
