QIDAN Reports

The Disability Royal Commission (DRC) heard about experiences of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation from thousands of Australians. After nearly five years of listening, research and deep consideration, the Final Report was published in September 2023. It included 222 recommendations over 12  volumes, providing governments with a clear roadmap for change.

Since then, governments have repeatedly missed key deadlines and there has been limited transparent and meaningful reporting on progress towards implementation.

In response, QIDAN undertook an independent, self-led analysis of each recommendation, tracking the Federal and Queensland Government responses and actions.

Our analysis, evidenced by publicly available information, has discovered that, despite a $160 million investment in the DRC implementation:

• Over half of recommendations have no updates on their implementation
• Only 3% of recommendations have actually been implemented.

The full findings of this analysis are presented in the report below.
