Disability access and inclusion
The Disability Inclusion Act 2018 along with the State Disability Inclusion Plan and the SA Autism Strategy set the direction for disability inclusion across government.
Within this framework, PIRSA has a clear role.
Our work supports the people, industries and regional communities that have long been the backbone of our economy, our identity and our future prosperity.
We must ensure services, programs and ways of engaging are accessible and inclusive so people with disability can participate fully – as growers, fishers, producers, small business owners, volunteers, visitors and staff.
Our Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026–2030 is an important part of that responsibility. The plan sets out how we will improve access to our services and workplaces by removing barriers to ensure people with disability can engage with PIRSA on an equal basis. It reflects our aim to be practical, responsive and focused on the needs of all the people we serve.
We recognise the progress made so far, but we also know there is more to do. Accessibility is not achieved once. It needs continued effort and a willingness to change how we work. This plan sets out clear actions that will help us continue to move forward.

The development of PIRSA’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2026–30 was informed by extensive consultation across the agency, engaging the full workforce to provide feedback, insights and lived experience. This included input from staff with disability, as well as employees who are parents, carers and family members of people with disability.
The plan was further shaped through consultation with executives and senior divisional stakeholders, including members of the Disability Access and Inclusion Working Group, some of whom bring lived experience. Together, this engagement has informed the priorities and actions of the DAIP, ensuring it reflects both strategic leadership perspectives and real workplace and service delivery experiences.
