The Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) is a four-year plan to help make the City of Ryde more accessible, welcoming and inclusive for people with disability.

We are developing our new DIAP and invite anyone who lives, works, studies, or visits the City of Ryde to share their experiences.

Your ideas and experiences are important to us and we invite input from everyone. We would like to encourage input from:

  • People with disability, including those from multicultural backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, LGBTQIA+ communities and women
  • Carers and families of people with disability
  • Service providers in aged care, education, disability, or health sector.

Your feedback will help identify challenges faced by people with disability and guide practical actions to improve inclusion and opportunities in our community.
