Report calls for creation of a disability rights act
  • 7 months ago
After four long years and many thousands of hours of submissions the final report by the Royal Commission into violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability has been tabled in Federal Parliament. Two hundred and twenty-two recommendations for change have been made, including the phasing out of segregated education, employment and group homes. Disability advocates have called it a huge day for their community. The government did not respond to any of the individual recommendations instead announcing a task force to respond to the Royal Commission.
