Release of the Australian Government Progress Update on the Disability Royal Commission

The Australian Government has released a Progress Update on its consideration of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (Disability Royal Commission) final report.

The Progress Update provides an overview of what processes and consultations the government is undertaking before it formally responds to the Disability Royal Commission’s final report by mid-2024.

It also outlines work the government is doing to make Australia safer and more inclusive for people with disability. It includes some of the key actions already taken to address issues raised during the Disability Royal Commission’s inquiry.

The government is carefully considering the Disability Royal Commission’s 222 recommendations, and will continue to consult with people with disability, their families, carers, representative organisations, service providers and the broader community to inform a response that will drive meaningful and lasting change.
