Date Time Extension for Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability The Morrison Government today announces that it will extend the final reporting date for the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability to 29 September 2023. This provides an additional 17 months to account for the impact of COVID-19 and recognising the broad issues of inquiry under the Royal Commission’s terms of reference. “This extension will enable the Government to receive and implement recommendations as expeditiously as possible,” Minister Ruston said. “This will make meaningful change to the lives of people with disability, while also enabling the Royal Commission to fulfil its terms of reference.
