Disability Access and Inclusion Plan development and implementation

The DCSI Disability Access and Inclusion Plan Intra-Department Steering Committee was established to implement the DAIP initiative within this Department. The committee met regularly during the life of the project and was chaired by the Executive Director of Disability SA, Dr David Caudrey. All DCSI business areas and the DCSI Disability Employment Community of Practice were represented on this committee.

The group provided guidance and advice to the project to ensure that it was developed in accordance with the decisions of the across-government steering committee and reflected current reforms and South Australian priorities. Each DCSI business area identified actions through a range of processes and developed their own DAIPs. Key strategic actions from these individual plans have been included in the DCSI DAIP.

Overall responsibility for the implementation of the DCSI DAIP rests with the Chief Executive. Responsibility for specific actions may be delegated to executive directors and directors of the business areas specified in the plan.

The DCSI DAIP has been lodged with the Australian Human Rights Commission. In accordance with the Department of the Premier and Cabinet Circular PCO13, DCSI will report on implementation of the plan in annual reports.
