On 7 September 2023, the Australian Government released the Aviation Green Paper. The Green Paper provides the principles, initiatives and policy settings the government is considering to shape Australia’s aviation future. The Green Paper marks an important stage in developing the Aviation White Paper, which will set the policy direction for the aviation sector out to 2050.

The Green Paper includes a chapter on Disability Access (see Chapter 3.3). The chapter outlines a range of known barriers to travel experienced by people with disability, and seeks feedback from stakeholders on ways to address them. Public consultation is open until 30 November 2023.
