We are committed to supporting people with disability in Yarra.
We are committed to:
- supporting people with disability to live full and active lives
- ensuring that Yarra is an inclusive and accessible community and is a place where everyone can live well
Our Access and Inclusion Strategy guides our work to empower people living with disability (including their families and carers) to live well in Yarra.
The plan was developed in consultation with the community, Yarra staff and our Disability Advisory Committee.
Key goals
- Improve accessibility to infrastructure, facilities and amenities
- Promote and encourage mainstream participation, representation and community leadership
- Support employment and career development opportunities
- Create welcoming and inclusive practices and culture
The strategy is underpinned by three action plans that each span two years. This allows for some agility in how we respond to the strategy's key themes in a shifting service delivery environment.
Alternative versions
There are a number of accessible versions of the strategy available, including summary, easy English and large print.
