We strongly encourage everyone to register their interest with the Productivity Commission so that they can follow the progress of the inquiry and be notified of opportunities for participation – you will only get regular updates from the Commission if you register your interest.

This is your chance to have your say about what the future of people with a disability, their families and carers looks like in this country – and it is an opportunity not to be missed.

More details about the inquiry, the terms of reference, circulars and copies of all submissions can be found on the Productivity Commission’s website.
