South Australian Disability Register Overview

http://consult.dfc.sa.gov.au/disability-services/sadisabilityregister/consult_view

In January 2011 a discussion paper (Consumer Engagement Strategy for 
Disability) was circulated by the Department for Families and Communities (DFC) 
presenting options for a model of engagement for disability. 

Feedback to the discussion paper recommended the adaptation of a disability 
register to more effectively engage the community. 

The proposed DFC SA Disability Register will be a contact list of persons who 
have nominated to provide independent advice on broad issues concerning 
disability

Why we are consulting
The aim of the proposed South Australian Disability Register is to create a 
central resource of feedback for policy makers.

Members of the Disability Register will participate through the use of surveys, 
focus groups and a subsequent online facility to:

Inform the development of Disability policy. 
Report to Ministerial Disability Advisory Council (MDAC) to develop policy 
recommendations to the Minister for Disability 

A pilot phase of The Disability Register is now open. Registration is sought 
from people living with disability, their families, opinion leaders and 
'interested' individuals and agencies across the community.
