Gunnedah Shire Disability Inclusion Action Plan Review 2022

The Gunnedah Shire Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) is under review and we need your help. The aim of the DIAP is to ensure that people with disability or impairment who live, work and visit the Gunnedah Shire have equal access to Council services, facilities, programs and events.
Why have a Disability Inclusion Action Plan?
Gunnedah Shire Council is committed to being an access champion and improving opportunities for people of all ages with disability to access the full range of services and activities available in the community. The 2017-2021 DIAP prioritised a range of actions that Council needed to take throughout that period to make this happen.  We have been steadily working with our partners to implement the Plan and now it's time to revisit our actions to determine how we can strengthen the document.  

Who would we like to hear from?
If you or someone you know has a permanent or temporary disability/impairment (i.e. physical, sensory, cognitive, intellectual, or other related conditions) and you live in or visit the Gunnedah Shire, then Council wants to hear your opinion. We also want to hear from family, friends, supporters, carers and services supporting people with a disability, and anyone else in the community who is interested in access and inclusion.
Can I give my opinion without doing the survey?
Yes.  Over the phone, in person or by email.
