Access to premises – This includes a new Property Access Review Panel to ensure legislative requirements on property access are being met and
ongoing consultation with disability advocacy groups on access issues.

Improved access to products and services – creation of a Product and Service Review

Advisory Panel to ensure requirements of customers with a disability are met in the development of investment products and services and commitment to meet voluntary industry standards for on line services within 18 months where feasible.

Staff awareness and training – increase staff knowledge of disability issues through upgraded awareness training and the integration of disability issues in product-related training programs.

Foster a diverse and inclusive workplace – a commitment to working with advocacy groups to develop work placement programs for people with a disability and to identify high caliber people who will contribute to the diversity of the workplace.
