Submissions and reports (grid)
We’re using evidence and analysis to make change.
A key part of how we advance the disability rights agenda is by developing submissions that respond to the policies, practices and programs of government and industry.
After consulting with our members and clients as well as our community and research partners, we write detailed submissions and reports on many different issues which provide relevant analysis as well as recommendations that will improve the lives of people with disability.
Below you’ll find our submissions and reports, dating from the most recent all the way back to 2009 in a grid style! If you know the name of a specific document, you can use the Search function at the top right of the webpage to find it quickly.
