    NDA Submission on Statement of Strategy 2024 – 2026 for Department of Justice

    The NDA recommends that the Department of Justice include clear commitments in this new Statement of Strategy with regard to how services and supports within its remit will be provided to members of the public with disabilities. A clear statement confirming the Government’s policy of ‘mainstreaming’ and referencing how the Department of Justice will recognise and meet the needs of disabled persons when delivering services is a useful approach. This will require the department to disability-proof the policies and supports it provides, thereby also ensuring that the Department of Justice is playing its part in the delivery of the State’s commitments under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
