Introduction<br />

The <strong>Monash</strong> <strong>Disability</strong> <strong>Access</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Inclusion</strong> <strong>Framework</strong> <strong>and</strong> Action Plan 2009–2013<br />

is a strategic framework that builds on Council’s current achievements <strong>and</strong> further<br />

strengthens Council’s capacity to continue to address access <strong>and</strong> inclusion issues for<br />

people with a disability, their families <strong>and</strong> carers.<br />

The <strong>Framework</strong> demonstrates Council’s commitment to improve its responsiveness<br />

<strong>and</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> its services, programs, facilities <strong>and</strong> systems in addressing the needs<br />

<strong>and</strong> aspirations <strong>of</strong> people with a disability.<br />

The <strong>Framework</strong> outlines how Council will address access <strong>and</strong> inclusion issues to<br />

ensure that people with a disability are provided with opportunities to fully participate<br />

in all aspects <strong>of</strong> life in <strong>Monash</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Monash</strong> <strong>Disability</strong> <strong>Access</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Inclusion</strong> <strong>Framework</strong> outlines Council’s priorities<br />

for the next four years <strong>and</strong> identifies specific actions to be implemented in a whole <strong>of</strong><br />

Council approach within this time frame.<br />

The implementation <strong>of</strong> the actions outlined in the <strong>Framework</strong> is the responsibility <strong>of</strong><br />

units across Council, as specified in the Action Plan, however responsibility for the<br />

overall management, implementation <strong>and</strong> evaluation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Framework</strong> <strong>and</strong> Action<br />

Plan <strong>and</strong> reporting to Council <strong>and</strong> other entities lies with the Community Planning <strong>and</strong><br />

Development Unit.<br />
