Joint media release

The Albanese Government has today released an Issues Paper to seek views on reforms to the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, as well as other opportunities to clarify and strengthen protections for people with disability.

This is part of the Government's response to the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (Disability Royal Commission).

The Government is now inviting people with disability, carers, families and kin, advocates, service providers, employers, unions, educational bodies, small business, legal professionals, academia and the broader community to participate and share their views.

The Issues Paper is accompanied by an Auslan video, Easy Read and plain English versions of the paper's summary. There are options for people to share their views in ways that best suit them including a short community survey, written, audio or video submissions.
