Why a one-year plan?
The Disability Services Act (Qld) 2006 (the Act) provides a foundation for promoting the rights of Queenslanders with disability, increasing their wellbeing and encouraging their participation in community life. This legislation requires all Queensland Government agencies to develop and implement a disability service plan.
The Department of the Premier and Cabinet and Public Service Commission Disability Service Plan 2021–2022 (DSP) is an extension of, and is designed to be read in conjunction with, the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and Public Service Commission Disability Service Plan 2017–2020 and the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and Public Service Commission Disability Service Plan 2020–2021.
The necessary response to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the next iteration of the National Disability Strategy 2010–2020 (NDS) to be delayed. This important resource will be released once community consultation can be completed. To ensure the Queensland State Disability Plan and our agencies’ DSP continue to align with, and contribute to, shared commitments under the NDS we have undertaken a review to ensure we have targeted actions in place to drive disability inclusion over the next 12 months.
DPC and PSC are committed to delivering a full three-year plan as soon as we can.
More information on disability service plans, their drivers and their purpose is available in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and Public Service Commission Disability Service Plan 2017–2020.
