Responding to the Disability Royal Commission

To build on existing funding and commitments made over the last three Budgets totalling more than $3 billion to build a more inclusive Australia for people with disability, the Australian Government is making a significant investment towards the first phase of its response to the Disability Royal Commission.

This initial package has a strong focus on better safeguarding in the community, enhancing human rights, and improving accessibility and inclusion. The Government has also committed to reviewing Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031 and consulting on a First Nations Disability Forum or other appropriate shared decision-making mechanism.
