I am excited to introduce the third NSW Disability Inclusion Plan, demonstrating the Minns Labor Government’s commitment to building a more inclusive and accessible NSW for everyone.
This Plan reflects our dedication across the NSW Government to ensure people with disability can fully participate in all aspects of community life. It’s shaped by the lived experiences of people with disability, whose insights help us understand the barriers they face, and who guide us toward meaningful solutions.
We will continue to actively collaborate with people with disability and strengthen these partnerships. We will also work closely with the Australian Government and other states and territories to respond to major reforms to the sector so that we can achieve improved outcomes for all people with disability.
The actions in this Plan are already driving change. I am confident that this work will make a meaningful difference to people’s lives, our communities and our great state.
Together we can create a NSW where inclusion of people with disability isn’t an afterthought – it’s the standard that we all live up to.
The Hon Kate Washington MP
Minister for Families and Communities, Minister for Disability Inclusion
As a person with disability, I know how powerful it is when our voices are truly heard. Being part of the conversations that shaped the NSW Disability Inclusion Plan was a privilege. Each person with disability is unique, with their personal stories and experiences, strengths and needs. That’s why it is so important that people with disability are involved every step of the way in the design and delivery of programs and services.
This Plan reflects a shared commitment to breaking down barriers and building a society where everyone belongs. It’s about more than access, it’s about dignity, inclusion, opportunity, and respect. I believe this Plan will strengthen collaboration between government and community, driving real change.
Inclusion benefits everyone. When people with disability can fully participate in community life, we all thrive.
Ms Liesl Tesch MP
Parliamentary Secretary for Families and Communities, Parliamentary Secretary for Disability Inclusion
