Government launch the National Disability Strategy

The National Disability Strategy sets out the actions the government will take to improve the everyday lives of all disabled people, including specific mention to policies and funding streams to improve the accessibility of new homes and adaptability of existing housing, and use of assistive technology.

The paper is divided into 4 sections: an introduction; immediate commitments; including disabled people in policy making and service delivery; and, summary of actions each government department will take.
