better protecting those with disability

The Disability Royal Commission was established in April 2019 in response to community concern about widespread reports of violence against, and the neglect, abuse and exploitation of, people with disability. In September 2019, representatives from Xavier attended the first hearing of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with a Disability.
The Royal Commissions final report has since been released.
The Royal Commission has made 222 recommendations on how to improve laws, policies, structures and practices to ensure a more inclusive and just society that supports the independence of people with disability and their right to live free from violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation.
The Royal Commission has published A Brief Guide to the Final Report
