Tasmanian Disability Inclusion Plan

Consultation on the first Tasmanian Disability Inclusion Plan closed on 10 March 2026. We are now working on reading feedback and writing the plan.

What we consulted about?

The Disability Rights, Inclusion and Safeguarding Act 2024 (Tas) says the government must create a plan that enables people with disability to be more included and supported in Tasmania. This plan will be called the Tasmanian Disability Inclusion Plan.

The first plan is for four years and must be prepared by 1 July 2026.

The plan will be developed in collaboration with people with disability.

This means we need help from the Tasmanian community, and particularly Tasmanians with disability, to share ideas, and work with us to create the plan.

In our recent consultation we asked people to share their ideas so that so that we can get the plan right.

How we consulted?

The consultation was open between 21 November 2025 and March 10 2026.

During this time we ran webinars and held face to face sessions throughout Tasmania. We also had many conversations with other individuals and groups. We wrote directly to disability and community organisations and told them about the consultation.

We asked people to complete an online survey or a plain English online survey.

We also asked people to make a submission in any way that suited them. We will publish these submissions on this web page.

What happens next?

We are currently reading and thinking about all the feedback provided during the consultation.

We are writing a summary of the feedback and will publish this summary on this web page as soon as possible.

We will use the feedback provided to prepare the first Tasmanian Disability Inclusion Plan. We will have this plan prepared by the beginning of July 2026 and will be published as soon as practical once prepared eg. preparation of accessible formats.

We will publish any updates on our progress on this web page.
