Disability inclusion

In 2014, the NSW Parliament passed the Disability Inclusion Act which requires a disability inclusion plan for NSW and each agency to have a disability inclusion action plan.

The NSW Disability Inclusion Plan (DIP) outlines the key actions the NSW Government has committed to or will deliver to improve the lives of people with disability.

The NSW Health Disability Inclusion Action Plan applies the NSW Government priorities for disability inclusion from the DIP, into the NSW Health context to:

  • improve the health outcomes, and experiences for people with disability in NSW
  • increase participation in meaningful employment by people with disability in NSW Health.

Under the Disability Inclusion Ac​t 2014, NSW Health must provide an annual report on progress in implementing disability inclusion strategies. NSW Health Disability Inclusion Action Plan Snapshots provide examples of initiatives from across NSW Health.
