    Disability Access and Inclusion Plan

    The Department of State Development (DSD) Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) supports the State Disability Inclusion Plan. Our DAIP sets out the actions we will take over the next four years to improve the accessibility and inclusiveness of our services and programs.

    The DSD DAIP also includes an annexure – the DSD Autism Strategy Action Plan. Combining the DAIP and the Action Plan into a single document brings all of our disability‑related commitments together in one place, ensuring alignment and consistency across our work, and making information easier for the community to find and use.

    The DSD Autism Strategy Action Plan outlines the actions we will take over the next four years to strengthen the accessibility, inclusiveness and responsiveness of our services and initiatives for Neurodivergent people, their families and carers, working in partnership with the DAIP. Our plan supports the broader SA Autism Strategy 2025-2029 and the whole-of-government SA Autism Strategy Action Plan 2025-2029.

    The Department of State Development is also a signatory to the South Australian Autism Inclusion Charter.

    Implementation of our DAIP and Autism Strategy Action Plan will be overseen by our People and Culture Committee and supported by our DAIP Working Group, which is made up of employees with lived experience of disability.

    Both plans will be regularly reviewed to ensure they remain responsive to the needs, interests and lived experiences of people with disability and Neurodivergent people. We welcome feedback and comments at any time from our stakeholders and employees.

    We report on both the DAIP and Autism Strategy Action Plan every year to the Department of Human Services.
