Shocking reports today underscore the urgent need for a dedicated Royal
Commission into violence and abuse against people with disability.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission have more clearly exposed the
prevalence of this problem.
But we don’t need yet another media report to know that violence and abuse
against people with disability occurs at much higher rates than the rest of the
community, often in places where they are meant to be receiving support.
Children with disability are particularly vulnerable, and women with disability are
more likely to experience family violence.
Advocates are saying these latest reports are just the “tip of the iceberg”, and
they have been calling for a Royal Commission for years now.
