Disability Plan
Inclusiveness and
respect for all people
Our Vision – “that we live and proclaim
the healing touch of God’s love, where we invite people to discover
the richness and fullness of their lives, give them a reason to
hope and a greater sense of their own dignity” - provides
the underlying motivation for the development of our Disability
Access and Inclusion Plan.
Our Values - Compassion, Hospitality,
Excellence, Respect and Justice - guide the way we interact with
each other and those who we serve in the community.
They point to the need for inclusive and
respectful physical and psychological environments, equitable
access to our facilities and services and just approaches to
employment, so that the best person for the job is chosen.
Our Plan has been registered with the
Australian Human Rights
Commission.
Goal of our Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
The goal of our Disability Access and
Inclusion Plan is to improve our ability to include and respond to
the needs of people with a disability, whether they are caregivers
(employees), patients, clients, volunteers or the general
public.
It is one of the important steps we can take
to encourage a culture within St John of God Health Care of
inclusiveness and respect for all people.
By making these improvements to the
accessibility and appropriateness of our services we will benefit
all those who come to us.
In consultation with people who have a
disability, we aim for a dynamic approach to implementat and review
this plan.
