Vision
An inclusive society where all people are valued participating members.


Mission
To use our specialist skills and resources as knowledge brokers for the provision of services to people who are disadvantaged for the realization of our vision.

The Intent of IDEAS- NSW:

Our primary objective is to empower people with disabilities, their families and carers to make informed choices about their daily living through the provision of information and resources.

We are an information service independent from direct care services which facilitates informal self advocacy through the provision of disability information and resources.

Current Activities of IDEAS- NSW:

We are currently working on an exciting new project called Access Aware! The primary goal of this project is to produce a comprehensive online database of accessible businesses and facilities. Access Aware! will also seek to redress problems of inaccessibility by encouraging business owners to improve access for people with disabilities and the frail aged.
