Australian Parliamentary Ombudsman met in Melbourne

On 9 December, the Ombudsman Bruce Barbour travelled to Melbourne to attend the second meeting of the Australian Parliamentary Ombudsman for 2011. This meeting follows from the success of the first meeting held at our office in July.  The event provided a valuable opportunity for Ombudsman from across Australia to discuss issues and challenges relevant to their respective offices and gain insights into other jurisdictions.

Annual Report 2010-2011 – Access and equity programs

Our access and equity programs focus on the needs of vulnerable groups, including but not limited to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people, people with disabilities, people of cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people in remote NSW, women and young people. We have developed a number of action plans that detail our strategies and intended outcomes (such as Disability Action Plan and Multicultural Action Plan) and reported in the annual report the progress of our implementation of these plans. See page 21, pages 168-171 for more details.
