The Disability Royal Commission published its final report on 29 September 2023.
The final report has 222 recommendations. Of these:
- 45 apply to areas in the sole responsibility of Victoria
- 5 apply to individual states that are not Victoria
- 85 apply to areas of joint Commonwealth, state and territory responsibility
- 84 apply to areas of sole Commonwealth responsibility
- 3 apply to areas of joint Commonwealth and non-government agencies’ responsibility.
The Victorian Government accepted most of the recommendations in full, in principle or in part. We will consider a further 22 recommendations, 8 of which are in the sole remit of Victoria.
Victoria has worked in partnership with the Commonwealth and other states and territories. We developed responses to the 85 joint Commonwealth, state and territory recommendations. All states and territories have accepted or accepted in principle most joint recommendations. Victoria has not accepted 1 joint recommendation.
The Commonwealth and all state and territory governments released a joint response on 31 July 2024. Victoria’s response builds on this joint response.
