Overview
The Disability Royal Commission has completed its Final report.
Our report recommends change so people with disability can enjoy all human rights and freedoms fully and equally.
It recommends important changes to policy and practices across governments, organisations, services and the community to prevent violence against, and abuse, neglect and exploitation of, people with disability.
Many people contributed to this report. People with disability, their families, friends, carers and supporters shared their experiences with us.
Government representatives and service providers told us about challenges and opportunities to improve outcomes for people with disability. We are very grateful for their input.
We handed our Final report to the Australian Government on 28 September 2023.
We have done our job and the Disability Royal Commission has ended.
It is now up to the Australian Government to act on our recommendations for change.
You can read our Final report on our website. There are 12 volumes, plus an introductory volume which contains our vision for an inclusive Australia.
We have made Auslan translations of each volume.
For most volumes we have made two Auslan videos:
-
a general summary of the volume, outlining the structure and highlighting key information
-
a summary of the main recommendations contained in the volume.
Each video is 10 to 15 minutes long.
Look out for our Auslan videos of Volume 1 – Voices of people with disability. These contain several powerful stories in Auslan that people have shared with us. These stories have informed our work and recommendations.
