Broad Royal Commission terms of reference released, encouraging feedback in next two weeks

The Australian Government has released the draft terms of reference for the Royal Commission into violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability.

The terms are broad, a move that Social Services Minister Paul Fletcher says is deliberate to ensure that they account for a greater number of people at risk of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation.

The terms note that the Commission should look into violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability "in all settings and contexts," including disability support services, schools, workplaces, homes and hospitals.
