Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2023–25
 

We recognise that there are varying views on language and terminology around disability in Australia and internationally. Language can be both a personal, and political, choice.

We have chosen to write this Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) using the person-first language of ‘person with disability’ to recognise that disability is just one aspect of a person’s life and does not determine who they are. This is currently the preferred language used by governments across Australia. However, we respect that different people have different preferences about language.
