Disability Action Plan


Disability action plans are a positive strategy for creating more accessible and inclusive public services for Victorians.

Department of Premier and Cabinet's (DPC) Disability Action Plan is designed to eliminate practices preventing people with a disability having full and equal access to all aspects of our operations. It reaffirms the Department’s commitment to identify and address barriers to opportunity and sets an example for other institutions and employers.

DPC’s plan is part of a wider Whole of Victorian Government initiative. Government Departments will improve opportunities for people with a disability to actively play their part in government.

The Disability Action Plan is available as HTML, Word or Adobe PDF formats. If you do not have the Adobe Reader, you can download it for free. Find out more about Adobe.
