The Office for Disability Issues used a new planning approach for the implementation period of July 2006 to June 2007, where more specific guidance was provided to government agencies to better match their actual responsibilities.

The plan template was focused into three areas of possible implementation:

All government agencies were expected to make commitments to being universally responsive. Whereas only agencies with social policy responsibility impacting on disabled people were expected to report more fully on including a disability perspective and key policy projects to implement the New Zealand Disability Strategy.

Summary information relating to promoting accessible government, and including a disability perspective within ordinary work, is presented in a graphical format supported by descriptive text. It includes an estimate of current and projected levels of related agency activity.

The information relating to key disability-focused work is provided in brief narrative format, highlighting major initiatives across agencies conducting this activity.
