Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2023–26

The Stonnington Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) 2023-2026 demonstrates Council's commitment to improving disability inclusion and access and provides a framework to work towards a fully inclusive community where all can benefit from the services and facilities Council provides.

The DIAP also meets Council's obligations under the Disability Act (2006) and supports the objectives of the Disability Discrimination Act (1992), Australia's Disability Strategy (2021–31) and Inclusive Victoria: State Disability Plan (2022–26).

The DIAP actions are based on four pillars that focus on inclusion outcomes:

  • positive attitudes and behaviours
  • liveable Communities
  • supporting access to meaningful employment
  • accessible systems and processes.

These pillars will guide our work and help to ensure that our future infrastructure, programs, services, and workplace are accessible and inclusive for people with disability, their families and carers.
