Violence, harassment and bullying
The Australian Human Rights Commission has adopted violence, harassment and bullying as major priority themes to address in our work.
People with disability will be an integral part of all work in this area. We will also be pursuing specific opportunities to address violence, harassment and bullying against people with disability as part of the National Disability Strategy.
