Disability Action Plan 2021 - 2025

The Disability Action Plan 2021-2025 outlines how we will work over the next four years to:

  • Improve access and inclusion for people with disability; and
  • Recognise and support the role of carers.

1 in 6 people in Australia (18% of the Australian population) live with disability.  The likelihood of living with disability increases with age*. This 18% equates to approximately 25,801 of Frankston City’s estimated population in 2020 which was 143,338.

Meanwhile, according the 2016 ABS Census 12,486 people in Frankston City (11.4%) were helping to provide this assistance as unpaid carers.

This Plan was developed to meet Council’s ethical and legal responsibilities under international, national and state laws, policies and plans.  The Plan also aligns with the Frankston City Council’s 2040 Vision, Council Plan 2021-2025 and Council’s Community Strength policy domains.
