Disability

Councils play an important role in creating more inclusive and accessible communities. Resources on this page may help councils increase inclusivity in programs and services offered in their communities.

What is disability inclusion?

Disability inclusion allows people with disability to have the same participation as people who do not have disability.

As the closest level of government to their communities, councils play an important role in disability inclusion.

Councils can work alongside people living with disability to improve the accessibility and inclusiveness of the services, facilities, and programs available in their area. This concept of co-design aims to achieve better outcomes by bringing perspectives together to design services.
