The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has released new quarterly data on Australia’s Disability Strategy Outcomes Framework. This update, including data from the 2022 Survey of Disability, Ageing, and Carers, reflects both progress and ongoing challenges for people with disability in Australia. Key data highlights: - Accessibility is improving, with 74% of people with disability reporting no difficulty accessing buildings or facilities, up from 69% in 2018. - Education access is advancing, with Year 12 completion rates rising to 58% in 2022. However, some indicators reveal persistent issues, such as unmet needs for hospital admission and a decrease in public transport accessibility. These figures highlight the importance of targeted actions to address gaps and ensure inclusive, accessible environments for all. AFDO remains committed to advocating for meaningful improvements across all areas affecting people with disability.
