Join the Disability Discrimination Consultation List
The government committed $6.9 million to the review and modernisation of the Disability Discrimination Act and has asked the Attorney-General's Department to lead the review of the Act.
The department’s review of the Act is considering the recommendations from the Disability Royal Commission related to the Disability Discrimination Act, in addition to further changes recommended by stakeholders to improve the experiences of people with disability.
In late 2024, the Attorney-General's Department began the review by collaborating closely with representatives from the disability community to inform their approach.
The next step will be to launch a broad and accessible public consultation process in March 2025, which will ensure that all voices are able to be heard. The government values all opinions and will invite everyone to share their views on this important reform, including the following groups:
- people with disability
- carers
- advocates
- employers
- unions
- service providers
- small business
- education providers
- academia
- the broader community
To be involved in this important review, please sign up to the mailing list to be notified when the public consultation process begins.
