State Disability Plan

Development of the next State Disability Plan for 2013-2016 is underway, and the Disability Act 2006 (Vic) requires that a new State Disability Plan is in place by 1 January 2013. The Plan will focus on a whole of government approach to improving the economic and social outcomes for Victorians with a disability, their families and carers.

The Victorian Government has said that it, “continues to do everything we can to drive the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The State Disability Plan will assist us in outlining a vision for reforming disability support and laying the foundations for an effective transition to a NDIS.”  

The draft State Disability Plan 2013-2016 will be released in early 2012 for public consultation, and opportunities for families and carers to have input will be included in our NoticeBoard magazine and on our website.
