Main Roads Western Australia has a key role in ensuring the road network links communities and provides efficient access to all modes of transport for all road users, including people with disabilities.

In line with State Government policy and with added momentum from our commitment to customer service, we aim to assist people with disabilities by ensuring access is readily available to our services enabling increased independence and opportunities for inclusion within the community.

Main Roads has developed the Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2007-2011 (DAIP) (22 page PDF 1 MB) which strives to ensure people with disabilities have the same opportunities as others to:

• access services and events organised by Main Roads;
• access Main Roads buildings and other facilities;
• have access to information from Main Roads;
• receive the same level and quality service from Main Roads;
• make complaints;
• participate in public consultation.

The DAIP is reviewed every five years and progress is reported by 31 July each year to the Disability Services Commission.

In addition, Main Roads has commissioned a Disability Advisory Group consisting of community members who will ensure Main Roads meets its DAIP commitments within set timeframes.

More detailed information about Disability Access and Inclusion planning is available from the Disability Services Commission website.
