NSW arts and disability organisation Accessible Arts is working with the National Gallery of Australia to assist with developing a Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP). A DIAP is one of the most effective ways of improving access for and inclusion of people with disability. This strategic plan for accessibility helps guide organisations to meet relevant legislative requirements and best practice benchmarks.

Accessible Arts is inviting community members to complete a short survey to seek their views on current accessible services offered by the National Gallery and ideas for new service offerings they could provide in the future.

The survey closes on June 7, 2021.
