Disability Access and Inclusion Plan

The TAFE Queensland Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) aims to drive and implement good practice guidelines that promote respect, embed accessibility, and provide a blueprint for an inclusive organisation.

TAFE Queensland Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2023-2027

At TAFE Queensland we believe education and training has a key role to play in achieving an inclusive Australia where people with disability participate equally and equitably in all aspects of life. We have consulted with staff, students and external disability practitioners to create our DAIP, and are committed to:

  • ensuring people with disability have equitable access to educational and employment opportunities
  • creating an environment where dignity, trust and respect are valued
  • embedding a culture of diversity and inclusion by implementing strategies that identify and remove barriers to access and participation by students and staff in education and employment
  • increasing and maintaining a diverse workforce by implementing strategies to enhance accessibility for staff across all business areas
  • providing equal employment opportunities for people with disability
  • actively promoting the TAFE Queensland DAIP, Student Support Policy and Staff Equity and Diversity Policy.

When I went over what was possible with TAFE staff, I realised I could do plenty. Some things are a struggle, but my teacher helped me to work around them to finish my studies.

About your rights

The rights of people with disability have been recognised at a global level by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

The eight guiding principles of the UNCRPD are:

  1. Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the freedom to make one’s own choices, and independence of persons
  2. Non-discrimination
  3. Full and effective participation and inclusion in society
  4. Respect for difference and acceptance of persons with disabilities as part of human diversity and humanity
  5. Equality of opportunity
  6. Accessibility
  7. Equality
  8. Respect for the evolving capacities of children with disability and respect for the right of children with disability to preserve their identities

These rights are implemented through Australian Commonwealth (Disability Discrimination Act, 1992) and State legislation (Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act 1991).
