WHAT IS THE ROYAL COMMISSION INTO THE DISABILITY SECTOR?

The Royal Commission into the Disability Sector is officially called the "Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of People with Disability". Details of the Royal Commission will be updated as the Royal Commission progresses. 

The core purpose of this enquiry is to ensure people with disability are not subjected to violence, abuse, neglect or exploitation. The terms of the Royal Commission are intentionally broad, including all types of disability, all settings and not including any time restrictions. Following their investigation, the Royal Commission is instructed to make recommendations for future improvements.

We believe that this Royal Commission will be an important way to drive positive change for people with disability, so we'll be supporting it with everything we've got.
