About the Royal Commission
The Disability Royal Commission will investigate and report on experiences and conditions in all settings and contexts, including:
- schools
- workplaces
- jails and detention centres
- secure disability and mental health facilities
- group homes or boarding houses
- family homes
- hospitals
- day programs
The Disability Royal Commission gathers information through research, public hearings, the personal experiences people tell us about and submissions, private sessions, and other forums.
We will deliver a final report to the Australian Government by 29 September 2023. In this report, the Royal Commission will recommend how to improve laws, policies, structures and practices to ensure a more inclusive and just society.
