Abstract	This report recommends a 10-year plan for changes in services to people with intellectual disabilities in Victoria, Australia. Intended key outcomes of the plan include: increases in the numbers of clients receiving direct residential support in community-based accommodations; reductions in numbers of adult clients resident in large scale congregate facilities; more clients in adult day programs; development of the case management system; expansion of local residential service teams; greater numbers of trained staff; and new specialist services. Following an overview of the plan and its principles and philosophies, a framework is given for changes in commonwealth, state, and local government activity. The report makes recommendations regarding residential services; housing; specialist child and family services; education; employment; the justice system; behavior and psychiatric services; other services; prevention of intellectual disability; community education; and human resource development. A plan for implementation as well as costing and financial analysis are provided. Seven appendices are given, including: models for local residential service teams and an equity housing cooperative system, a statement regarding future directions for specialist child and family services, a statement from state trustees, recommendations regarding vocational services, population assumptions and a glossary of terms.
