DFAT (2025) Reasonable Accommodation in Development Programs Good Practice Note

This Reasonable Accommodation in Development Programs Good Practice Note has been developed to support DFAT staff and partners to understand what reasonable accommodation is, DFAT’s obligations to ensure it is provided, and how to use it as a tool for enabling participation of people with disability on an equal basis with others. It includes specific examples across the development program cycle and suggestions for systemic improvements to ensure access to reasonable accommodation wherever and whenever it is needed.

This guidance note was prepared under the DFAT–CBM Australia Technical Partnership, an Australian aid initiative implemented by CBM Australia and the Nossal Institute for Global Health at the University of Melbourne.
