Feedback is sought from our internal and external stakeholders and members of the public, in particular those in the community who use our services or engage with our work.
The DAIP aims to promote access and inclusion of people with disability via our consultation processes, employment, services and events, buildings and facilities, quality of service, information and complaints.
It strongly aligns with the guiding principles of A Western Australia for Everyone: State Disability Strategy 2020-2030.
You are invited to review and submit feedback on our draft DAIP. Your input will help us to finalise our plan, setting the direction for Keystart over the next five years.
Submissions are due by 5pm on Friday, 19 December 2025.
The Western Australian Disability Services Act 1993 requires all public authorities to develop and implement a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan. The plan must outline the ways in which Keystart will ensure that all people have equal access to its facilities and services.
The Disability Services Regulations 2004 outline seven outcome areas we must provide strategies to achieve.
The Western Australian Equal Opportunity Act 1984 recognises that people with disability require, and are entitled to, the same level of service available to other members of the community. This Act also makes it unlawful for a person to discriminate against any person on the grounds of impairment.
This draft plan and proposed strategies aim to provide a framework for ensuring we remove any barriers and limitations to access and inclusion when engaging with Keystart.
