Abstract
This paper analyses the first cultural strategy introduced in Australia for people with disability and its evaluation reports. For an in-depth understanding of the cultural strategy, it reviews the literature on disability in historical and socio-political contexts, and on human rights for people with disability. It also discusses three key recommendations identified from the evaluations of the cultural strategy: first, to develop an information hub for the arts and disability sector; second, to facilitate collaboration between Australian governments, including arts agencies and national disability support agencies; and third, to revisit and renew the existing cultural strategy. The paper assesses the desired goals and strategies of the cultural strategy, and examines ways in which outcomes can be measured to achieve social inclusion for people with disability in three dimensions of social inclusion: ‘access’, ‘participation’ and ‘empowerment’.
