Responsibilities and governance

The Department of Human Services (DHS) will lead the implementation of the Strategy, in partnership with relevant Government of South Australia agencies who will be responsible for delivering actions under the Strategy. DHS will ensure alignment with the activities of the State Disability Inclusion Plan and State authority Disability Access and Inclusion Plans (DAIPs) to support a holistic response to access and inclusion in the state.

Measuring the effectiveness of the Strategy also requires a coordinated whole-of-government effort. Lead agencies will be identified to drive the implementation of agreed initiatives through the Strategy’s action plans. Lead agencies will report on their progress through their individual DAIPs.

An annual report, prepared by DHS, will be published to provide an update on progress against the Strategy’s Commitments.
