Applications are sought from people with disability, family members, carers and people with knowledge of, and experience in disability. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are encouraged to apply.

As stated by Disability Services Minister Don Punch:
"The Ministerial Advisory Council on Disability plays a vital role in building a more inclusive Western Australia and empowering people with disability to participate meaningfully in all parts of society.
"There's never been a more important time to get involved with all the changes underway in the disability landscape and I strongly encourage people who can demonstrate the required skills, knowledge or experience to nominate for membership.
"I would like to thank the outgoing members of the Council for their commitment to creating an inclusive Western Australia for people with disability."
