Disability Action Plan – Health and Wellbeing
This month in the Queensland Disability Action Plan 2022-2027, we discuss the sixth key outcome area: health and wellbeing.
This outcome area is focused on ensuring people with disability attain the highest possible health and wellbeing outcomes throughout their lives.
This includes ensuring all health service providers have the capabilities to meet the needs of people with disability. It is important that all prevention and early intervention health services are timely, comprehensive, appropriate and effective to support better overall health and wellbeing.
It is also equally important that all mental health supports and services are appropriate, effective, and accessible for people with disability.
Disaster preparedness, risk management plans and public emergency responses are also a focal point of the Health and Wellbeing outcome, ensuring the plans and responses are inclusive of people with disability, and support their physical and mental health, and wellbeing.
