Griffith's Disability Inclusion Access

The Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) demonstrates Council’s commitment to people with a disability on improving access to services, facilities and jobs and is also designed to change perceptions about people with a disability.

Griffith City Council’s Plan is closely aligned with the Community Strategic Plan ‘guiding griffith 2040’ and includes:

• attitudes and behaviours - breaking down the barriers for a more inclusive community
• liveable communities - how we get around and access the physical environment
• employment - opportunities within Council and the community
• systems and processes - making it easy to find information and communicate with us

The DIAP was adopted by Council on Tuesday 9 November 2021. You can view the document here:
