Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why does the Western Australian Museum need a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan?

The Disability Services Act 1993, amended in 2004, requires all local government and selected State Government agencies to develop a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan.

It is important the WA Museum develops and implements a plan that will support everyone in the community, reflecting our philosophy of ‘people-first’, encouraging participation and deeper engagement with the stories of Western Australia. This is reflective of the diverse lived experiences at the heart of our storytelling.
