People with Disabilities
 The Department of Justice and Attorney General is strongly committed to protecting the rights of individuals with a disability. Our agencies work actively to ensure these rights are understood and respected.
The Department of Justice and Attorney General is actively working towards minimising the disadvantages faced by people with disabilities particularly people with disabilities involved with the criminal justice system. We are working to ensure that all our clients can access our court services fairly and equitably.
To demonstrate this commitment, we have developed a Disability Strategic Plan that will help us improve the way we deliver services to people with disabilities, and to ensure that we excel in our employment practices. Below is the two page summary of the plan.
