We developed an outcomes framework for the previous state disability plan Absolutely everyone: state disability plan 2017–2020. We used the outcomes framework to track our progress.
When we developed the outcomes framework, it aligned closely with the priority areas under the previous plan.
The current plan has 4 pillars. Across the 4 pillars, there are 14 outcomes that reflect the goals and objectives of Inclusive Victoria.
We have already done work to find out what is important to people with disability.
We wanted to simplify the outcomes framework.
We asked Melbourne University’s Melbourne Disability Institute (MDI) to review the outcomes framework. MDI told us the outcomes framework is comprehensive and complex.
MDI worked with VDAC to develop new headline indicators. These now provide a simple, informative view of progress.
MDI have refreshed the indicators in the outcomes framework and have produced a midway outcomes report using readily available public data sources. The midway outcomes report provides a clearer and understandable story about whether or not we are making progress for people with disability.
MDI have also identified limitations in the available data and made recommendations to improve the outcomes framework. This includes engaging with Victorian Government departments to identify additional data sources and leveraging the development of the National Disability Data Asset (NDDA).
