Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability Submission View PDF 1.73 MB

This submission comments on: The impact of systemic racism as evidenced by the disproportionate rates of incarceration.

The need for solutions that are fundamentally conceived and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that are consistent with Australia’s international human rights obligations and draws on the strength and resilience of First Nations culture. Australian governments need also take appropriate and urgent actions to protect the lives of Australians with disability, especially in the context of COVID-19.
