Reasonable adjustments
A reasonable adjustment is a change to an existing approach or process which is essential to ensure a person’s access to a service. Reasonable adjustments for people with disability are required under the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the disability inclusion legislation of each state and territory.
Making reasonable adjustment for a person’s disability creates an inclusive environment and facilitates meeting the NSQHS Standards, for example, providing safe and high-quality care.
