Background
The Disability Services Act 2006 provides a strong foundation for promoting the rights of people with a disability, increasing their well being and encouraging their participation in the life of the community. It includes measures to safeguard the rights and safety of people with a disability and combines with existing systems to improve the quality of services they receive.
The new legislation requires every Queensland Government Department to develop a disability service plan. In this plan departments need to identify:
- issues regarding service delivery to people with a disability
- ways these issues will be addressed
- how the Department’s plan complements the plans of other departments.
The Disability Service Plan 2007 - 2010 details the actions that the Department of the Premier and Cabinet will be undertaking to improve access to its services, information and facilities for people with a disability.
