Back to Disability Discrimination Commissioner National Consultations
The Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Alastair McEwin, is conducted a national consultation to help progress and guide development of his priorities and seek input from the disability community on how he can most effectively work to advance the rights of people with disability.
Community consultations were held in each capital city and some regional centres between October 2016 and March 2017. In addition to these consultations, written submissions were also sought on the three consultation questions in relation to the Commissioner’s five proposed priority areas:
- Employment
- Education
- Housing
- The criminal justice system
- Implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
