Next steps

The Victorian Government is committed to monitoring its progress and evaluating the outcomes of the priority strategies that it puts into place. This will ensure that real progress is made towards achieving the Government's vision over the next ten years.

The Victorian Government will do this by:

• Making the priority strategies and key actions part of the Implementation Plan for the Disability Services Division, Department of Human Services
• Undertaking a yearly review of the priority strategies;
• Publishing reports that show the Government’s progress;
• Providing regular updates to the Disability Advisory Council of Victoria
• Continuing to get reports from the Disability Advisory Council of Victoria about the issues that are important to people with a disability, their parents, families and carers, and considering these issues as they arise
• Evaluating the outcomes of the priority strategies before developing new strategies for 2006-2008 and for 2009–2012
• Ensuring that the views of people with a disability, their parents, families and carers, service providers and members of the broader community are listened to and taken into account.

The Disability Services Division, Department of Human Services will coordinate the implementation of the priority strategies. The Division will also support other organisations in making their supports and services more accessible and more inclusive of people with a disability.

The Government recognises that new issues, challenges and opportunities will arise, and that priorities may change over time. Responding to these new issues and monitoring the implementation of the priority strategies in this Plan will be essential to ensuring that the Government remains on track to deliver its vision in 2012.
