Management and accountability
Commonwealth Disability Strategy
PSR is committed to the Commonwealth Disability Strategy. In its employer role, PSR’s employment policies, procedures and practices comply with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. Recruitment information is available in electronic formats and PSR encourages and welcomes applications from people with a disability. Actions PSR takes to support such applications include:
- advertising all vacancies in alternative media and on the Internet
- allowing potential applicants to apply for positions via the email system
- ensuring applicants short-listed for interview have an opportunity to indicate any needs they may have.
PSR’s programs and services are not delivered to the general public and, to date, it has not been notified of any person under review with a disability. If the need arises, PSR would make available the facilities relevant to its regulator and provider roles to ensure appropriate access is provided.
The PSR website <www.psr.gov.au> contains public information about the Scheme and meets the Government Online minimum standards with regard to accessible formats for people with disabilities.
In its purchaser role, PSR consults with staff concerned and seeks the advice of relevant organisations, as appropriate, to ensure needs are met.
