The National Disability Strategy (NDS) is the Commonwealth of Australian Government (COAG) mechanism through which Australia will progressively implement the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD). The current NSW Implementation Plan 2012-2014 (Implementation Plan) identifies strategies under the six outcome areas of the NDS, with direct link to the CRPD. This uniformity across policy at the national and state level is essential to adequately track progress towards overarching goals and priorities, linked to consistent national monitoring and evaluation frameworks.
