Responsibility: Australian Government
Response: Accept in principle
Status: Further work required
What has been achieved to date
The Australian Government is currently developing options to deliver the five year (2028) and ten year (2033) review. The reviews will consider the Disability Royal Commission’s recommendations and their effectiveness in improving the lives of people with disability. They will build on monitoring and reporting arrangements in response to recommendations 12.2 and 12.3. The Government will consider options in consultation with the disability community.
What the Disability Royal Commission said in the final report
The National Disability Commission should lead independent evaluations of the implementation of the Royal Commission’s recommendations and their effectiveness in improving outcomes for people with disability.
The evaluations should examine barriers to and drivers of effective implementation, and suggest measures for improvement. The evaluations should be conducted five and 10 years after the delivery of the Final report, with reports tabled in the Australian Parliament.
Australian Government Response July 2024
The Australian Government supports a culture of evaluation and learning from experience to underpin evidence-based policy and delivery. The Government will consider appropriate arrangements for independent evaluations of the implementation of the Disability Royal Commission’s recommendations, with a focus on evaluating the impact of the Disability Royal Commission itself, and government responses and reform, in improving outcomes for people with disability. This will build on monitoring and reporting arrangements detailed in response to recommendations 12.2 and 12.3. Arrangements will be finalised by 2025 to enable formal independent evaluations to be conducted in 2028 and 2033, consistent with this recommendation.
