Disability Care and Support

Extension of due date for submissions

We have extended the due date for initial submissions

Given resourcing and other constraints, some parties have requested extensions for making a submission to the Inquiry into Disability Care and Support. While we would like to get submissions as early as possible, in view of the concerns raised by some participants, the Commission has extended the due date for initial submissions to Monday 16 August 2010.

We welcome second and further submissions

The Commission also welcomes second or even further submissions after the due date for the initial submission. These submissions may include additional points people wish to make, comments on others' submissions and the results of community consultations. This may be particularly relevant to those organisations that obtain funding from the Australian Government's recently announced initiative to support public consultations by disability and carer organisations.

Please still provide at least a summary note ahead of any appearance at a hearing

The Commission would still like people presenting at public hearings to provide either an initial submission or at least some notes of their key points ahead of their appearance at the hearings, since this allows a better discussion of the issues.
