To ensure the National Disability Strategy is practical and effective, the Commonwealth Government in consultation with state and territory governments, developed a discussion paper to facilitate public discussion on the direction of the Strategy.
The discussion paper was launched by the Hon Jenny Macklin MP, Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and the Hon Bill Shorten MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children's Services on 17 October 2008.
The discussion paper is available in accessible formats. If you require another version of this document, please email the National Disability Strategy mailbox at nationaldisabilityst@fahcsia.gov.au
