NSW Health Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2026 – 2029

The NSW Health Disability Inclusion Action Plan sets out a vision for change across all parts of the organisation and for all staff.

The plan has been developed through consultation with people with disability, carers and peak disability organisations.

The actions in this plan respond to the concerns and priorities of people with disability by addressing key areas, including:

build knowledge and skills
increase awareness and change attitudes
increase access to rights based, person-centred health care
include the voices of people with disability and carers in governance and partner and consult with people with disability
communicate in ways everyone can understand
increase employment of people with disability
