Domains at a glance

Each domain represents an area of priority and focus for state and local government during the four years of the State Plan. While some aspects of each domain will need to be prioritised as they require immediate action, other aspects will be undertaken in a staged effort as existing work continues, new initiatives emerge and other reforms, both state and national, progress.

Domain 1: Inclusive environments and communities

People with disability have a fundamental right to take part in all aspects of social, cultural and economic life and enjoy the benefits of an accessible and inclusive community.

Actions and outcomes within this domain will concentrate on breaking down the barriers to accessibility and providing opportunities for people with disability to actively participate in environments and communities.

Domain 2: Education and employment

People with disability have a fundamental right to achieve their full potential through education and lifelong learning, and the economic security that comes from equal opportunities within the workforce.

Actions and outcomes within this domain will put in place targeted measures to support transitions through educational settings and into the workforce, and ensure equal opportunity is afforded to people with disability across all stages of the education and employment experience.

Domain 3: Personal and community support

People with disability have a fundamental right to access a range of in-home, residential and other community support services. This includes personal assistance necessary to support living and inclusion in the community, and to prevent isolation or segregation from the community.

Actions and outcomes within this domain will address the accessibility and availability of community services and supports that are responsive to their specific needs, and the needs of people that care for them.

Domain 4: Health and wellbeing

People with disability have a fundamental right to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health without discrimination on the basis of disability, and to be confident that measures are in place to ensure equitable access to health and mental health services and supports.

Actions and outcomes within this domain will aim to build knowledge and awareness of the diversity and intersectionality of disability. They will also seek to prioritise the accessibility and availability of health and mental health services to ensure quality care is provided at all stages of life.

Domain 5: Safety, rights and justice

People with disability have a fundamental right to recognition before the law and to live free from all forms of exploitation, violence, abuse and neglect. This includes the right to safety and to legislative, administrative, social and educational support, and other measures that protect and uphold their dignity and wellbeing.

Actions and outcomes within this domain will promote, uphold and protect the safety and rights of people with disability through improved interactions with the justice system, whether as victims, witnesses, suspects or defendants.

All domains are underpinned by the wider process of building knowledge, understanding and acceptance of disability across the South Australian community.
