Our places—Our places must be accessible for all people.
DPC and PSC recognise places exist in the physical and online space, and that accessibility in both spaces is vital for inclusion of people with disability to allow for full participation in social, economic and public life.
DPC and PSC’s offices in 1WS offer state of the art accessibility. Where any additional accessibility needs are identified, these are addressed in collaboration with building management. DPC will always work with regional and other Brisbane CBD offices to ensure any arising accessibility needs are addressed—this is part of our Business as Usual (BAU) as demonstrated in previous Disability Service Plans. Where further adjustments are made from this point, we will capture this in reporting for Action #20. We note further action toward 'our places' is also addressed under Action #12 of this plan in 'our people'.
We continue to promote and highlight accessibility options on personal devices and systems to support accessibility for employees. Our online spaces remain inclusive, and DPC has continued to publish agency information and communications in accessible formats. Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel (OQPC) is proud of the work done to ensure all Queensland legislation is fully accessible, utilising Browse Aloud software. This will continue to be the case for all new legislation published online.
