Delivering on disability reform

Australia's most fundamental social policy reform since Medicare

Disability could affect us all. Many Australians are already living with disability, either because they themselves have a disability, because a close family member has a disability or because they care for someone with disability.

The current system is broken

The current system of support is inequitable, underfunded, fragmented and inefficient and provides little choice for people with disability.

That is why the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments are building DisabilityCare Australia.

A better life for Australians with significant and permanent disability

This reform will create opportunities for hundreds of thousands of Australians with disability to participate in our communities and in the economy in a way that many of us take for granted. It is about making sure that the people who most need access to the right support are able to lead a dignified life in a way that works for them, their families and carers.
