You Me Everyone - Our Disability Action Plan 2009-2012
The Department of Human Services’ three-year Disability Action Plan for the period July 2009 to June 2012 builds on the actions undertaken over the past three years to reduce barriers and enhance opportunities for people with a disability. The 2005-2008 Plan of the former Department of Human Services focussed on the development, review and promotion of whole-of-department policies and procedures that underpin our work, and improved approaches for our own employees or potential employees. Key achievements during 2005-2008 included:
- Development and review of policies and procedures to ensure they are inclusive of people with a disability
- Work to improve the employment, support and retention of staff with a disability
- Access audits of front end service delivery sites
- Development and implementation of accessible communication standards and products
- Strong efforts to raise awareness of approaches, policies, procedures and practical resources across the department
