The Commission and the Disability Worker Registration Board of Victoria (the Board) have contributed a joint submission on the Victorian State Disability Plan and Victorian Autism Plan 2027–2031.
The Commission and Board strongly support the vision and objectives of the Victorian State Disability Plan and Victorian Autism Plan 2027–2031, and the plans' commitment to inclusion, accessibility, dignity, safety, choice and equal opportunity for people with disability.
A genuinely inclusive Victoria requires not only accessible communities and opportunities for participation, but should be underpinned by a safe, high quality disability workforce with strong safeguards that uphold the rights, dignity, safety and wellbeing of people with disability. The Scheme, Commission and Board contribute to these outcomes by strengthening workforce quality, providing accessible complaints and safeguarding mechanisms, supporting systemic reform and promoting public confidence in disability services.
The submission focuses on the role of safe, quality disability support as a fundamental foundation of delivering on the goals of the plans.
