Good afternoon disability community, sector, supporter and friends,
Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Alastair McEwin will be conducting a
national consultation which will help guide the development of his
priorities and seek input from the disability community on how he can most
effectively work to advance the rights of people with a disability.
These consultations aim to engage with the disability community and gather
information and knowledge on the extent and nature of disability
discrimination and the human rights of people with disability in Australia.
The focus of the consultations will be guided by the Commissioner's National
Consultation Discussion paper which sets out five proposed areas of priority
as being:
. Employment
. Education
. Housing
. The criminal justice system
. Implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme
(NDIS)
The consultation will be held on Friday 21 October 2016 in Adelaide.
