The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) is calling for feedback on its Draft Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026-2030. 

Our DAIP aims to create a community that is welcoming for people with disability by ensuring our services, facilities, information and workplaces are accessible and inclusive.

We encourage feedback from people living with disability, carers, service providers and community members. Your input will help refine the DAIP before it is finalised.

Have your say before the survey and comment period closes on 22 February 2026.

Any comments or suggestions can be forwarded to the Disability Access and Inclusion Committee via the survey or by emailing diversityandplanning@dbca.wa.gov.au or calling 9219 9825. 

The DRAFT Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026-2030 is available for download below and can be provided in alternative formats upon request.

The Western Australian Disability Services Act 1993  requires all public authorities to develop and implement a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan. The plan must outline the ways in which DBCA will ensure that all people have equal access to its facilities and services. 

The Disability Services Regulations 2004  outline seven outcome areas we must provide strategies to achieve. 

The Western Australian Equal Opportunity Act 1984  recognises that people with disability require, and are entitled to, the same level of service available to other members of the community. This Act also makes it unlawful for a person to discriminate against any person on the grounds of impairment. 

This draft plan and proposed strategies aim to provide a framework for ensuring we remove any barriers and limitations to access and inclusion when engaging with the department.
