The draft status of this document reflects that the framework is a live document which will be continually updated.
Promoting the rights of South Australians living with disability, and ensuring all people enjoy the same access and inclusion experience within our community is of the utmost importance for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026-2029 outlines the steps we will take over the next four years to improve outcomes for South Australians with a disability, by removing barriers that prevent them from participating fully in community life.
The DAIP has been developed in consultation with all areas across the Agency and aligns with ORSR's Strategic Plan 2025-2030 and supports our priorities of Sector Success, Sporting Excellence, Activated Places and Spaces and Legacy. It has been informed by engagement with people living with a disability, families, carers, athletes, the community and our workforce.
The Plan sets out practical actions to improve access, inclusion and equity across our organisation and the broader sector.
This DAIP will guide our decisions, investments and partnerships over the coming years and support continuous improvement in how we remove barriers and embed inclusive practice. Through this commitment, ORSR will continue to strengthen its contribution to an active, connected and inclusive South Australia.
Delivering on the commitments made within this plan will ensure all aspects of the work that we do are considered through the lens of people who live with disability and that access and inclusion is at the forefront of our decision making.
The Government of South Australia is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive South Australia based on fairness and respect. Find out more about the State Disability and Inclusion Plan.
