Our latest submission highlights that the Disability Discrimination Act needs to change. It must be made clearer and easier to use, especially the complaints process.
The Disability Discrimination Act is a law which tells everyone in Australia that they must treat people with disability fairly. However, it is unnecessarily complex.
We call for a commitment to improve discrimination legislation to ensure they support everyone's human rights.

Huge congratulations to DSA Employment Ambassador Charlotte Bailey!
Last Friday, Charlotte attended the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Morning Tea and Awards Ceremony in Sydney. She was named one of four finalists in the Young People’s category of the Human Rights Awards.
Charlotte continues to be a strong voice for fair pay and meaningful employment for people with intellectual disability. We’re proud of the leadership, commitment and impact she brings to this work.
Well done to Charlotte, and congratulations to all the finalists and winners of the 2025 Human Rights Awards.
