The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that people with disabilities, their families and carers are able to access the Department’s services, facilities, employment and information by providing them with the same opportunities, rights and responsibilities enjoyed by all other people in the community.
The Department's current Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2018-2023 (DAIP) details the Department's disability services priorities. The plan broadly reflects the public sector’s aim to ensure people with disabilities, their carers and families, have the same rights and opportunities as other community members to access the services provided by our agencies.
The Department’s has engaged Good Sammy Enterprises to perform a review of its current DAIP 2018-2023 and prepare its new five-year DAIP 2023-2028.
The public consultation period has now concluded for the review, and the Department wishes to acknowledge the feedback and input that is has received to support the review and development of its next DAIP, that it intends will promote equity and improved access and inclusion outcomes for people with disability interfacing with the justice system.
Whilst the Department continues to finalise this review, and is ready to publish and commence its new 5 year DAIP early in 2024, the current DAIP 2018-2023 will continue to apply.
If you have any queries about the review or the conclusion of the public consultation period, please contact by email daip@justice.wa.gov.au or telephone 61 8 9264 9799.
