Disability & Inclusion Action Plan – Community Consultation

The Abbey Museum’s vision is to enrich people’s lives through the stories shared in our collections.

• When: Friday 15th & 22nd of August, 2025
• Time: 1:30pm
• Where: The Abbey Cafe

What is a Disability & Inclusion Action Plan?

A Disability and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) is a guiding document that will help us to reflect and celebrate our strengths, identify areas for growth and set realistic actions we want to make for improved accessibility.

Community is important to us, so we will create this plan through public consultation, staff/volunteer training, workshops and stakeholder engagement.

When we’ve finished our Disability and Inclusion Action Plan, this document will be shared on our website.

Ticket notes:

This event is ticketed, due to capacity in the Abbey Cafe. Would you still like to help us develop our Disability and Inclusion Action Plan, but can’t make the event? Please email us at info@abbeymuseum.com.au to stay updated on future feedback and collaboration opportunities.
