Australia's Disability Strategy gets an update

30 Jul 2025

We have updated Australia’s Disability Strategy to deliver better outcomes for people with disability.

Australia's Disability Strategy

Australia’s Disability Strategy is the nation’s disability policy framework. It calls on all Australians to ensure people with disability can participate as equal members of society.

The strategy was reviewed over the past year. The review was based on feedback from people with disability and the wider community. We asked what parts of the strategy were working and what needed to change.

We’ve heard your feedback and have updated the strategy so that it continues to drive outcomes for the 5.5 million Australians with disability.

The updated strategy has several supporting documents, including:

  • 3 new targeted action plans
  • a revised Data Improvement Plan
  • the Guide to Applying Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021–2031.
