Open Letter to the Minister

We are from diverse backgrounds but united in our concern and position regarding the Final Report of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability.

After four-and-a-half years of harrowing evidence regarding the abuse and violence experienced by people with disability, we are concerned that as few as 13 of the 222 recommendations have been fully accepted by the Commonwealth.

We call on you both, as major parties, and all levels of Australian Government – Commonwealth, State and Territory and local – to demonstrate your leadership and commit to this urgent, necessary reform.
