Speak Up: Arts & Disability Priorities for NSW
The ‘Speak Up: Arts & Disability Priorities for NSW' report is the result of a three year consultation project with arts and disability stakeholders across NSW. It identifies key findings, issues and solutions to promote full inclusion, access and cultural opportunities in the arts for people with disability. This report ensures the work of Accessible Arts is guided by priorities identified by stakeholders in the arts and disability sectors.
This qualitative study focuses on how creativity is facilitated within a range of creative art services for adults with disabilities. The study conducted by the authors is posed from an occupational therapy perspective to draw on the values of current art services run in the Sydney metropolitan area for this specific adult group.

National Arts and Disability Strategy
A National Arts and Disability Strategy is currently being developed by the Cultural Ministers Council. This national strategy will improve coordination and collaboration across governments, helping to ensure that all Australians with disability have the opportunity to engage fully in arts and cultural activities.
The report ‘Shut Out: The Experience of People with Disabilities and their Families in Australia' was launched by the NPWDACC on 5 August 2009. The report provides detail on the key barriers and issues facing people with a disability, their families and carers and highlights the solutions offered by the submissions.
