Consultation report to help shape the next national disability strategy

During April to June 2019, the Australian community was invited to take part in national consultation to shape the future of disability policy for 2020 and beyond.

(For background information, see this website's pages on the National Disability Strategy 2010-2020 and National disability strategy - beyond 2020).    

This month, the Department of Social Services (DSS) released ‘Right to opportunity: Consultation report to help shape the next national disability strategy’, which will help to inform development of a new strategy. 

The report consolidates feedback from the national public consultations held earlier in 2019 - during which community members identified issues that are important to people with disability, such as jobs, career opportunities and community accessibility. 

DSS will be engaging again with people with disability and the broader Australian community in early 2020.
