Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021–2031

The strategy, launched in 2021, aims to create ‘an inclusive community together.’ It builds on the 2010–2020 strategy and sets 7 outcome areas:

1. Employment and financial security
2. Inclusive homes and communities
3. Safety, rights and justice
4. Personal and community support
5. Education and learning
6. Health and wellbeing
7. Community attitudes.

Target action plans

The strategy is supported by targeted action plans in priority areas. Currently there are 5, with 2(Employment and Community attitudes) directly relevant to TMR’s work. TMR is required to provide annual progress reports on the following action plans as part of this plan:

Employment

This outcome area aims to ensure people with disability have economic security, enabling them to plan for the future, and exercise choice and control over their lives. A key component of economic security is employment, and this targeted action plan will be a key contribution to this outcome area.

Community attitudes

This outcome area aims to ensure that community attitudes improve and enable people with disability to have full equality, inclusion and participation in society. The community attitudes targeted action plan sets out key actions to improve community attitudes towards people with disability to influence changes in behaviour.
