Mid Murray Council’s second Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026–2030 outlines Council’s commitment to creating a more inclusive, accessible, and connected community, where people with disability can participate fully in all aspects of community life.
In August 2025, the South Australian Government reaffirmed its commitment to access and inclusion through the launch of the Inclusive SA - State Disability Inclusion Plan, a South Australia where no one is left behind.
Council’s DAIP has been developed in alignment with the State plan and has been informed by a structured and inclusive engagement process, ensuring that the voices of people with lived experience of disability, their families, carers, service providers, and Council staff have shaped its direction.
Consultation findings highlighted that there is no single dominant issue impacting the disability community. Instead, multiple and interconnected barriers to access and inclusion were identified across areas such as physical access, transport, information dissemination, service delivery, and community participation. These findings reinforce the need for a balanced and coordinated approach, where all priority areas are recognised as equally important.
Council’s DAIP is developed in alignment with the following Five Domains set out in the State Disability Inclusion Plan:
- Inclusive Environments and Communities
- Education and Employment
- Personal and Community Support
- Health and Wellbeing
- Safety, Rights and Justice.
Within these domains, the Plan outlines actions that respond to local priorities. In areas beyond Council’s direct control, the Plan also places strong emphasis on advocacy and partnerships with other levels of government and service providers.
