Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2020 – 2023

The Audit Office of South Australia's Disability Access and Inclusion Plan is structured around the themes and priority areas of the Inclusive SA: State Disability Inclusion Plan 2019–2023. Both plans have since been extended to 2024.

Theme 1: Inclusive communities for all - Priority 1: Involvement in the community

We intend to ensure that all community members can access our reports and information. Our actions:

Assess our website to ensure our reports and career information are accessible to people with disabilities.
Revise our website for better publishing of reports, including any fixes for accessibility where possible.

These actions were completed in November 2022 with the release of our new website.

Theme 4: Learning and employment - Priority 12: Improved access to employment opportunities and better support within workplaces

We will focus on ensuring there are no artificial barriers to employment, and that employees living with disability are supported by us. Our actions:

Gain a better understanding of our workforce composition by encouraging staff to declare disability and report on the number of staff who report living with a disability (ongoing).
Conduct unconscious bias training for all staff (completed).
Ensure that candidates living with disability progress through a selection process as expected for their demonstrated capabilities (ongoing).
Ensure all new staff have an ergonomic assessment when they commence employment, and that existing staff can access this when requested (ongoing).
