Access and Inclusion Plans

Access and inclusion plans help organisations move from good intentions to practical action. They identify barriers, set priorities and create clear steps for improving access across programs, workplaces, communications, venues and events. A strong plan should be developed with d/Deaf and disabled people, reviewed regularly and supported by leadership, resourcing and accountability.

This page includes tools to help organisations start, strengthen or review their access and inclusion planning. These resources can support long-term change, helping access become part of everyday practice rather than something added at the end of a project.

ADNA acknowledges the lived and living experience of people with disability and their family members, carers and supporters.

We recognise the huge contribution people with lived and living experience make to ADNA's work, disability advocacy, and arts and culture in general.

ADNA uses ‘person-first language,’ emphasising the person, not the disability. As a disability-led organisation, we also embrace ‘identity-first’ language, acknowledging disability as identity.

ADNA acknowledges the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We honour their Elders past and present. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples' artistic and cultural expressions.
