8.1.1 Results
| Year | People with disability | People without disability | Relative inequality |
|---|---|---|---|
2014 | 24.9% | 16.3% | 1.53 |
2025 | Not available | Not available | Not available |
8.1.1 Description of results
For this outcome, we must use data and analysis previously presented for the old outcomes framework. In 2014, 24.9% of people with disability reported experiencing general discrimination or unfair treatment, compared to 16.3% of people without disability.
This inequality could have closed or widened since 2014. It is highly unlikely (given what we know about the lived experience of people with disability and the patterns across the range of measures in this report) that this inequality will no longer be present in Victoria.
