It is an uncomfortable truth that many people with Down syndrome in Australia experience discrimination through being segregated: forced to work, learn and live apart from the broader community. To realise a country that is supportive and inclusive, we need all Australian Governments to commit to realising inclusive educational and employment settings. Commissioner McEwins words reflect this sentiment, and commitment to change. DSA hopes to see this same commitment included in the final report from the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability, due at the end of the month.
