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 />
