Disability Royal Commission a Step Closer

Published 18th March 2019

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has committed the federal government to fully funding the disability royal commission, as the draft terms of reference for the inquiry are released.  

Morrison said on Wednesday the Commonwealth would entirely fund the royal commission, despite last month asking state and territory leaders to consider “any cost sharing arrangements that may be appropriate”.

The government also pledged to set up the royal commission before the federal election is called, and has released the draft terms of reference allowing people to have their say on the commission’s scope before 28 March.
