Tasmania State Forum 2024

The second state and territory-based Australia’s Disability Strategy (ADS) Forum was held in Hobart, Tasmania on 30 August 2024. 

The Tasmanian Government worked with the Department of Social Services to host the Forum with the key theme, ‘Your Say, Your Way’. 

The Forum brought together people with disability, disability organisations, governments, service providers and community representatives. They discussed how Tasmanian and Commonwealth Governments are implementing ADS.

The Forum emphasised the need to use best practice principles in consultation and engagement. This is so that people with disability are not only heard, but play a significant role in shaping the policies, programs, and decisions that affect their lives.

A report summarising the outcomes of the Forum is available.
