Ipswich City Council

Disability

Disability Ipswich City Council has a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for people with a disability. In January 1998 Ipswich City Council adopted a Social Justice Policy and a Disability, Access and Equity Policy. The establishment of these Policies demonstrated a commitment by Ipswich City Council to the valued contribution of each individual within our community and the role that Ipswich City Council plays in ensuring equality amongst all individuals.

In May 2000 Ipswich City Council adopted the Disability Action Plan with a vision of ensuring quality lifestyle for all members of the community.

The Disability Action Plan addressed the following key theme areas:

  • Equitable access
  • Communication
  • Consultation
  • Awareness
  • Training

The Ipswich City Council Access Reference Group meets every six weeks and comprises twenty Council and community representatives. The role of the Access Reference Group is to provide information to Council on community access issues.

Council's commitment to community partnerships is further evidenced by the participation of staff in a wide range of interagency activities that promote the aims and objectives of the Social Justice Policy and Disability, Access and Equity Policy.
