The National Disability Insurance Scheme is failing many Australians with profound disability. More than 43,000 people with intensive support packages are seeing little benefit from a scheme that was supposed to give them greater choice and improved independence. Last year's reports from the Disability Royal Commission and the NDIS review called for significant reform and a wider range of housing and support services. But neither report provided a clear and detailed roadmap to improve people's safety and give them alternate options. And the federal government's recent response to the Disability Royal Commission has kicked some of the more ambitious recommendations made by some commissioners to phase out group homes into the long grass for further consideration. So how can the government improve housing and support for Australians with intensive needs? Grattan's latest report, Better, safer, more sustainable, argues for four major reforms to improve NDIS housing and living supports. Host Kat Clay is joined by report authors, Sam Bennett and Hannah Orban. Read the report: https://grattan.edu.au/report/better-safer-more-sustainable-how-to-reform-ndis-housing-and-support/

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// We listened back to sounds and speeches from the "Unite to Support the Refugee encampment" rally, a solidarity event held by the Refugee Action Coalition last Friday 16th August in support of refugees camping out in front of the Home Affairs office on Bourke Street in Docklands. The collective of refugees who initiated the encampment are demanding permanent protection from the government and have vowed to stay put until their permanent visas are granted, despite hostilities from police and local council and harassment and intimidation from neo-nazis. You'll hear organisers responding to confrontation by a small group of neo-nazis and speeches that resumed after the disruption by two refugee women from the encampment, Nagez and Rati. The Tamil Refugee Council, Unionists for Palestine and Campaign Against Racism and Fascism are organising another rally in solidarity with the encampment and against nazi attacks this Friday 23rd August from 5:30PM at 808 Bourke Street, Docklands.// Ishtar Hope, a North Branch delegate with the Renters and Housing Union (RAHU), joined us to recap the Housing Crisis Survival Expo protest which ran during National Homeless Week earlier this month and to discuss the importance of collective action as well as mutual aid in the struggle for housing justice, particularly for queer and trans people.

The Government has handed down its long-awaited response to the Disability Royal Commission. Over four and a half years, the inquiry heard about experiences of abuse and neglect from more than 10,000 people. Its final report made more than 200 recommendations to improve the lives of people with disabilities. The Government has now said which of those proposals it plans to accept, and the ones it won't. In today's deep dive, we'll take you through that response, and what it means for Australians with disabilities.Hosts: Harry Sekulich and Zara SeidlerProducer: Orla MaherSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Disability Royal Commission, which has been investigating the discrimination faced by disabled people in Australia for,. The report, published in 12 volumes, contains more than 200 recommendations. - ஆஸ்திரேலியாவில் மாற்றுத் திறனாளிகள் எதிர்கொள்ளும் பாகுபாடு குறித்து நான்கு வருடங்களாக விசாரித்த Disability Royal Commission, செப்டம்பர் 28ஆம் தேதி தனது அறிக்கையை வெளியிட்டது. 12 தொகுதிகளாக வெளியிடப்பட்ட அறிக்கையில் 200ற்கும் மேற்பட்ட பரிந்துரைகள் முன் வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

The federal government last week released the report of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability, which painted a confronting picture and recorded the calls of disabled people “for a more inclusive Australia”. The commission made more than 220 recommendations, and was conducted at a cost to the taxpayer of $600 million. But commissioners split on the key issues of special schools and group housing for people with disabilities, causing immediate controversy. In this podcast, the Greens spokesman on disability, Jordon Steele-John, who campaigned for the royal commission, joins The Conversation to discuss the report, and also to canvass the NDIS, which is under review in another inquiry.  

Barely a decade ago the NDIS, the scheme to support Australians living with a disability, was called the social reform of a generation. Last week it was called out the Disability Royal Commission report as a system in desperate need of attention.  Disability advocates say that despite its good intentions, the NDIS isn't living up to its bold vision.  Today, writer of the latest Quarterly Essay, ‘Lifeboat: Disability, Humanity and the NDIS', Micheline Lee on what's wrong with the NDIS and how we can fix it.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Writer and former human rights lawyer who has lived with a motor neurone disability since birth, Micheline Lee

The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability have released their final report, a US soldier has returned after crossing the boarder into North Korea, Clementine Ford takes on Bachelor star Matty J, inflation rises, an update on the Jonas divorce and Dan Andrews resigns.

For years, advocates have fought for an end to so-called ‘special schools', so Australians with a disability can be educated in the mainstream sector.  They argue that ending segregation would be better for people with a disability and the broader community.  But the disability royal commission has failed to reach a consensus on whether segregated education should be phased out over the next three decades.  Today, National Disability Affairs reporter Nas Campanella, discusses the complexities of the issue and what will change now the four year royal commission is complete.  Featured:  Nas Campanella, National Disability Affairs reporter

Harrowing claims of abuse and neglect have come to light in the final report of the Royal Commission into People with Disability. The Royal Commission was established by the Coalition in April 2019, and since then more than 10,000 people have shared their stories. The report is more than 4,000 pages long, spans 12 volumes, and makes 222 recommendations. The federal government says it needs time to work through the extensive document. - सन् २०१९ मा बनेको शाही आयोग 'कमिसन इन्टु भायलेन्स, अब्युज, नेग्लेक्ट एन्ड एक्सप्लोयटेसन अफ पिपुल विथ डिजेबिलिटी'ले आफ्नो अध्ययन प्रतिवेदन सार्वजनिक गरेको छ। उक्त आयोगले सङ्घीय, राज्य र क्षेत्रीय स्तरबाटै अपाङ्गता भएका मानिसहरूको शिक्षा र सहयोगमा जोड दिनका लागि २ सय भन्दा बढी सुझावहरू पनि पेस गरेको छ। रिर्पोटले अपाङ्गता भएका मानिसहरूले भोगेको, हिंसा, दुर्व्यवहार, उपेक्षा र शोषणलाई स्वीकार गर्दै, महत्त्वपूर्ण परिवर्तनहरूका लागि आह्वान समेत गरेको छ। यी सिफारिसले अस्ट्रेलियामा थप समावेशी दृष्टिकोणको नेतृत्व गर्ने जसका कारण अपाङ्गता भएका मानिसहरू थप स्वतन्त्र हुने र उनीहरूको मानवअधिकार पनि सुरक्षित हुने बताइएको छ।

After four years, 32 public hearings, 8,000 submissions, and almost 10,000 people sharing their experience, the Disability Royal Commission has handed its final report to the federal government. Throughout the investigation, the commission heard horror stories of abuse, neglect, coercion, unscrupulous NDIS providers, and severe underpayment of workers with disability. With more than 200 recommendations, the government has an enormous task ahead of it to improve the lives of Australians with disability. This podcast pinpoints some of the most important recommendations, and identifies where the government should start. The report release coincides with the launch of Grattan Institute's Disability Program, supported by the Summer Foundation. Grattan's podcast host Kat Clay is joined by our Disability Program Director, Sam Bennett, and researcher Hannah Orban.

The long-running Disability Royal Commission, established to hear their stories, has now come to a close in Sydney.

Mandy and Kate talk to Michelle and Jane, peas and lawyers from Your Story Disability Legal Support. Your Story Disability Legal Support offers free, independent, confidential legal support to make submissions to the Disability Royal Commission, which is currently open until 31 December 2022. The Commission wants to hear from people with disabilities, carers, families, support workers, peafessionals – anyone with lived experience that has feedback and a contribution to make. Michelle and Jane encourage Peas to particularly get in touch with their service if they'd like legal advice and support prior to making a submission. It's not compulsory to do so, but could be useful if you're concerned about privacy and confidentiality, or naming a service provider or other agency that you need to maintain a relationship with, such as a school or an employer. The service can also advise you if you have existing legal concerns such as current court proceedings, non-disclosure agreements, other contracts and more. Michelle and Jane outline some of the common issues they're finding in submissions - discrimination and exclusion, barriers to accessing community services, issues with NDIS, children and young people being excluded from school, discrimination and lack of support in the workplace and the disproportional impact of family violence for women with a disability The service can also link you to free counselling and support, interpreting and Auslan services and specific support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Peas, you're encouraged to contact Michelle, Jane and their colleagues at Your Story Disability Legal Support to make a submission or assist your child to make a submission and take the opportunity to make an important contribution to positive change through the Disability Royal Commission.
