First Nations Disability Forum

In July 2024, all governments accepted in principle Disability Royal Commission (DRC) recommendation 9.10 to establish a First Nations Disability Forum (Forum).

The Department of Social Services is seeking input on how a Forum could be designed.

One of the critical aspects of this design will be ensuring that the unique perspective of regional and remote communities are recognised and involved in the development of the Forum.

The DSS Engage link below provides information on the proposal and on making a submission.

Attachment A of the Engagement Paper that can be found in the link above outlines DRC Rec 9.10 in full.

Closing date for submissions is 28 January 2025.
