Profile—North Metropolitan area Area profile for comment January 2013 Consultation document The Disability Services Commission’s (DSC) vision is that all people live in welcoming communities that facilitate citizenship, friendship, mutual support and a fair go for everyone. To achieve this, Western Australia requires a responsive disability service sector to support people with disability, their families and carers to access more opportunities in the community. To meet this goal, the Commission in partnership with key stakeholders is creating a Sector Development Plan. Its purpose is: to provide further direction and targeted developmental opportunities across WA to ensure the disability services sector continues to evolve to meet the needs, goals and preferences of people with disability. Fifteen profile area documents have been created to cover all areas across WA. They combine existing information to create a picture of supports and services that make up the disability sector in each area. It provides a base of information to be validated or challenged by stakeholders. Feedback will add to our understanding of each area and how well supports and services match people’s needs. The consultation process will identify strengths and gaps in supports provided to people with disability in each area.
