Who our plan needs to support

A person with disability pointing to themself and raising their other hand.

We know that disability is just one part of people’s lives.

A provider supporting someone.

Other things about a person also affect the type of support they need.

A lightbulb.

Our plan includes ideas to support 7 groups of people with disability.

These groups are also in the Act.

A group of culturally and linguistically diverse people.

1. Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people with disability

CALD people:

3 people next to the Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag.

2. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability

A group of women with disability pointing to themselves.

3. Women with disability

3 children with disability.

4. Children with disability

2 LGBTIQA+ people with their arms wrapped around each other.

5. LGBTIQA+ people with disability

3 people holding rainbow LGBTIQA+ flags.

The letters LGBTIQA stand for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer or questioning and asexual.

The ‘+’ is for people who are part of the LGBTIQA+ community but don’t talk about themselves using a word from this list.

A high risk icon.

6. People with intellectual disability or who are more at risk because of their disability

A book, a ticked check box, a speech bubble and a person pointing to themself.

An intellectual disability affects how you:

A house in an area very far away from cities and towns.

7. People with disability who live far away from cities and towns
