In keeping with the principle of nothing about us without us, partnering with people with disability in policy, program and service design and delivery will support increased inclusion and more informed decision making and investment.
We will increase collaboration and co-design with people with disability on government policies, programs and services.
This will include:
- identifying opportunities to increase knowledge and application of best practice co-design principles with people with disability across government, including people with cognitive disability
- increasing representation of people with disability across government boards and advisory groups – this will include a focus on increasing the diversity of representation of people with disability
- a particular focus on embedding co-design approaches in the first two years of the plan across: emergency preparedness, response and recovery; mental health reforms; children and families services; creative industries; and pride and recognition initiatives.
