DRC National Information Sessions – What Australia Told Us

The Disability Royal Commission has launched a series of national information sessions titled “What Australia Told Us!” to engage people with disability, their families, carers, advocates, and other stakeholders in understanding the Royal Commission’s work to date.

The information sessions will be face to face events held in each state and territory for people to learn more about what we have heard about violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability. The first session will kick off in Brisbane, Queensland on 16 March 2023. Our schedule is provided below.

The sessions will provide information to the community on our work to date at the Disability Royal Commission, including:

• How people engaged with us.
• Ways people shared their experiences.
• What we learnt from people who participated in private sessions and submissions.
• How you can stay informed.

We will provide Auslan Interpreters at the event.

Please let us know if you, or any of your members, have any additional accessibility requirements for the online workshop when you register.

Please note that this event is not an opportunity to discuss final report recommendations or findings. Rather, we want to share back the major themes we have heard from the community throughout the course of our inquiry.
