Types of accessibility and inclusivity needs

  • People with disability: Almost one-quarter of Tasmanian people (24.6 per cent) have some form of disability. People with disabilities face a range of barriers to participation.
  • Tasmanian Literacy levels: Literacy levels in Tasmania are lower than any other Australian state. Many Tasmanian adults struggle to read and understand the information they need to learn, work and live their lives.
  • Digital literacy levels: Skills need to be considered when developing communications, as well as the needs of people who do not have access to digital communications.
  • Tasmania’s diverse community: A multicultural community means English is not the first language of many of our community members.
