Project Member(s): Darcy, S.
Funding or Partner Organisation: Department of Family and Community Services
Start year: 2014
Summary: The research seeks to identify issues concerning private vehicle usage, access and modification in order to position New South Wales Family and Community Services for future development and the provision of informational resources in this important area of citizenship. The research aim is to contribute to creating a more inclusive society as identified in items 1.f (i & ii) of the NDS NSW Implementation Plan 2012-2014 (NSW Department of Disability, Ageing and Home Care, 2012) through improving ¿access to information about private vehicle access and usage by people with disability, including: i) car modifications and licensing for people with disability; ii) NSW Service Stations providing driveway assistance; iii) vehicle trip planning for a day and overnight troops The NDS NSW Implementation Plan is a response to the National Disability Strategy (Commonwealth Department of Social Services, 2010) and needs to be seen in context to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Commonwealth Government, 2013), which is reshaping disability service provision in Australia and NSW.
