Goals

The Goals are the things that the Government wants to achieve to make its vision a reality. All of these goals are equally important, and the success of one goal depends on the success of the other goals.

Goal 1: Pursuing Individual Lifestyles

To enable people with a disability to pursue their own individual lifestyles, by encouraging others to respect, promote and safeguard their rights and by strengthening the disability support system so that people's individual needs can be met.

Enabling people with a disability to pursue their own individual lifestyle means ensuring that people have maximum control over their own lives. To achieve this, the Government will reorient disability supports so that they are more responsive and more focused on people's individual needs and choices, and to the needs of their families and carers.

Goal 2: Building Inclusive Communities

To strengthen the Victorian community so that it is more welcoming and accessible, so that people with a disability can fully and equally participate in the life of the Victorian community.

Building inclusive communities means strengthening communities so that people with a disability have the same opportunities as all other citizens of Victoria to participate in the life of the community – socially, economically, culturally, politically and spiritually.

Goal 3: Leading the Way

To lead the development of a more inclusive community for people with a disability by developing more inclusive and accessible public services, and promoting non-discriminatory practices.

The Government will lead by example, building more inclusive communities by improving the accessibility and responsiveness of public services and making them more inclusive of people with a disability.
