PDA joins fellow disability representative organisations regarding Government Response to Disability Royal Commission

Wednesday 31 July

Following today’s disappointing government response to the four and a half year Disability Royal Commission, PDA joins fellow national disability representative organisations to voice our concerns that just 13 of the 222 recommendations were fully accepted and that, following nine long months, many recommendations are still to be resolved across the different levels of government.

This joint statement calls on governments across the board to act urgently on all 222 recommendations and for prioritising the establishment of a Disability Reform Implementation Council, led by people with disability.
