ArtPlay Disability and Inclusion Action Plan

​​​​​​​In the development of the ArtPlay program, we have considered what we envision for the future of our activities. We want to ensure ArtPlay becomes accountable and responsive to the access and inclusion needs of diverse communities.

To make this future a reality, we have created a Disability and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP).

With this plan, we seek to address and monitor identified barriers for d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent children, carers, parents and artists.

Our Disability and Inclusion Action Plan covers the following five key areas:

  • ​Connecting with ArtPlay
  • Engaging with ArtPlay Online
  • Getting to and being at ArtPlay
  • Being included in ArtPlay Activities
  • Working with ArtPlay

Our Disability and Inclusion Action Plan is available in a range of formats below.

The plan was created in collaboration with Arts Access Victoria and the ArtPlay Disability and Inclusion Advisory Group. This Advisory Group alongside the ArtPlay Access and Inclusion Working Group will work together to check that the actions of this plan take place and will note their impact.  

ArtPlay values community feedback in our access and inclusion work and we encourage you to share your thoughts to ensure our continued improvement.
