"The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People
with Disability will hand its final report and recommendations to the
Australian governor general today.

Many people are waiting keenly to hear how the recommendations can make a
difference to the lives of people with disability. Others are unsure how the
royal commission could improve people’s safety and wellbeing.

Since it was established in mid-2019, the disability royal commission has held
32 public hearings with evidence from 837 witnesses and received 7,944
submissions – 55% from people with disability and 29% from family members.

While we wait for the report to be made public, we can learn from how
government action from the previous child abuse royal commission helped improve
people’s lives."
