ACTCOSS has made a submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs Inquiry into the delivery of outcomes under the National Disability Strategy 2010-2020 to build inclusive and accessible communities.
In accordance with the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry our submission focussed on the issues of poor access faced by people with a range of disabilities and the need for appropriate investments, legal protections and infrastructure responses to create and inclusive and accessible Canberra. The submission also focussed on the need for a more robust compliance, accountability and reporting framework across the Strategy as a whole as well as the need for the Strategy to develop links with other human rights and intersectional frameworks.
