While individuals may have physical or psychological impairments, it is often the environment itself that contributes to the experience of disability by failing to accommodate people with impairments.
Inclusion and access is a fundamental human right. Inclusive and accessible communities are vital for individual and community mental health and wellbeing. Barriers to access deny people their right to participation, and disrupt the connections they have with their family and communities. Being socially excluded in this way is associated with poor mental health and wellbeing.
The APS has contributed submissions on disability-related issues including the NDIS (e.g. the draft Quality and Safeguarding Framework), on abuse in institutions, and on the adequacy of residential aged care for young people.
A practice guide developed by the APS aims to reduce the need for restrictive practices in the disability sector.
