In response to recommendations made by the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability, the Australian Government is reviewing the Disability Discrimination Act.
On Friday 15th August an Introduction Webinar for the review of the Disability Discrimination Act will take place.
All members of the public who are interested in the Disability Discrimination Act and what to learn about the review are invited to attend.
This webinar will include information about the review, what is being considered and also provide information about how you can have your say.
A recording will be made available on the Attorney General’s Department website at some stage after the event (https://www.ag.gov.au/rights-and-protections/human-rights-and-anti-discrimination/australias-anti-discrimination-law/review-disability-discrimination-act).
The webinar will be online via Zoom and will run for 1 hour.
Auslan interpreters and live captioning will be available. For other accessibility requirements, please email engage@thesocialdeck.com or phone 0458 228 142 (business hours, AEST).
