Disability Inclusion Act 2024

The main object of this Act is to foster a community in the ACT where—

people with disability are recognised as an important and valuable part of the diverse community; and

ableism is challenged and addressed; and

barriers to accessibility and inclusion are identified and removed.

The object is to be achieved by requiring the development and review of—

disability inclusion strategies for the Territory; and

disability inclusion plans for the public sector.

In achieving the object, it is the Legislative Assembly’s intention that, to the extent reasonably practicable, the operation and administration of this Act is to support and further the principles of—

the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; and

any other relevant international human rights instruments affecting people with disability, as in force from time to time.
