Australian Health Sector Emergency Response Plan for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The Australian Government’s Department of Health has developed a Management and Operational Plan for People with Disability 

COVID-19 presents a significant and unprecedented challenge for many people with disability, including children and young people, the people who support them, and the disability sector as a whole.

Some people with disability are more likely to be vulnerable to the effects associated with COVID-19 including impacts which continue following the pandemic period.

The Management and Operational Plan for COVID-19 for People with Disability (the Plan) has been developed to provide a targeted response for people with disability, their families, carers and support workers.

The Plan is available in PDF, Word, and Easy Read and is available on the Australian Department of Health webpage
