Disability Royal Commission - Education and Learning

The Disability Royal Commission commenced its first public hearing this week (4 – 7 November 2019), with a focus on inclusive education and learning. 

An Issues Paper outlining the Disability Royal Commission’s approach can be found here. 

The Royal Commission issues paper on education outlines the Commission's preliminary understanding of the key issues and barriers experienced by students with disability and asks 13 questions.

The Royal Commission is encouraging responses from individuals and organisations to the issues paper, if possible, by 20 December 2019 although submissions will be accepted after that date.

If you find it difficult to use the form, you can also make a submission by phone or email.  An Easy Read version of the form is also available.

The Disability Royal Commission will accept submissions in the first language of any person making a submission, including Indigenous languages.
