Consultation for the next State Disability Plan and the next Victorian Autism Plan is now open.

The Victorian Government wants to hear from:

• people with disability
• Autistic people
• families, carers and friends
• advocates and allies
• disabled people’s organisations
• community organisations
• local government.

The next plans will set out priorities and actions to make Victoria a more inclusive, accessible, and fair place for all.

The Victorian Government wants to hear about: 

  • what is working well and what could be improved 
  • priorities for the future 
  • ideas for the next plans. 

The government will work with the disability community to respond to national disability reforms. This includes changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, and the delivery of foundational supports such as Thriving Kids.  

There are different ways you can take part. You can choose one or more of these options to have your say.

You can:

  • take part in a face-to-face workshop or online forum 
  • take part in an online survey 
  • share feedback and ideas on Engage Victoria 
  • send us an email with a voice or video recording to disabilityplan@dffh.vic.gov.au.  
  • mail a picture, document or recording with your ideas to Office for Disability, 50 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000. 

To take part in a workshop, forum, or online survey visit Engage Victoria for more information. 

If you need help to give feedback or would like to access information in a different format, contact disabilityplan@dffh.vic.gov.au. We can provide support or materials in a way that works best for you. 

Consultation on the next State Disability Plan and the next Victorian Autism Plan will happen at the same time. This way, the new autism plan will line up with the new State Disability Plan.

Consultation closes at 5pm, Friday 17 July 2026
