Since COVID-19 restrictions have been introduced, Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Exploitation and Neglect of People with Disability or Disability Royal Commission submissions are now limited to phone, video, audio recording or written submissions.
Private sessions with a commissioner were suspended after the Australian Government introduced social distancing measures.
People with Disability Australia (PWDA) encourages you to share your story and has disability advocates available to help you.
To speak to a disability advocate, email info@wayfinderhub.com.au or leave a voicemail at 1800 843 929. Alternatively you can line up making your submission by contacting the Commission.
You can also access the specialist Blue Knot DRC counselling service on weekdays on 1800 421 468 and the Your Story disability legal support service on weekdays on 1800 771 800.
