Leading disability organisations have partnered to form a project group which is compiling a Shadow Report on Australia’s implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
The overall aim of the report is to make recommendations to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and to determine the extent to which Australia has implemented its obligations under the CRPD.
The project group would like people with experience with disability to complete a survey outlining their experiences. The survey, as well as further information can be found here.
You can also view the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities.
The release of the Shadow Report outlining the information collated, including recommendations, is expected prior to the Federal Government submitting its Progress Report to the United Nations in August 2010.
