4. Management and accountability
Commonwealth Disability Strategy
PSR continues to be committed to the principles of 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. PSR continues to make the organisation accessible to people with disabilities by:
- advertising all vacancies in alternative media and on the Internet
- allowing potential applicants to apply for positions by email
- 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, PSR 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.
