Disability Access Inclusion Plan (DAIP) Review

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.

Disability Access and Inclusion Plan.

The DAIP aims to improve access to our facilities, employment, services, and information we provide to people with a disability, carers, and families. This will assist the WA Museum to plan and implement improvements to access and inclusion across seven outcome areas:

1. Services and events
2. Buildings and facilities
3. Information
4. Quality of service
5. Complaints
6. Consultation processes
7. Employment.

The DAIP will benefit people with disability, the elderly, carers, families of people person with disability, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The DAIP will be implemented from January 2024 to January 2029.

The WA Museum reviews their DAIP at least once every five years. The review process includes consultation with stakeholders across metropolitan and regional  areas and is an important way for people with disability, their family, carers or friends to provide input into the Museum’s planning.

Public Consultation is now complete. For further enquiries, please contact Adriana Marramiero on 6552 7811 or by email daip@museum.wa.gov.au.
