People With Disabilities ACT Inc, (PWD ACT Inc), is a not for profit consumer systemic advocacy organisation which represents the interests of people with disabilities in the ACT. Our commitment is to improve access to all amenities and to all forms of information and activities in the ACT community. PWD ACT also works to inform the community about disability issues.
Implications of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities (CRPD)
We refer to the submission by the Australian Human Rights Commission in relation to the implications of the CRPD for the development of a National Disability Insurance Scheme
http://www.hreoc.gov.au/disability_rights/inquiries/NDIS.html
We believe that the CRPD provides the framework for the design of a new system based on a human rights and social model of disability and refer to the AHRC’s comments on this aspect of the Commission’s inquiry.
