I have the hard copy of the #DisabilityRC that was published 2023. So little has been done from it :/
State and Federal governments needs to ensure that Disabled people can be supported to work where they want AT FULL PAY - as recommended by the #DisabilityRC - but of course RC recommendations mean nothing to them

Ms Miller said Bedford had created three social enterprises to transition people into open employment, rather than supported employment, following recommendations made by the #DisabilityRC

A reminder that the government hasn't made any moves on legislating an end to sub-minimum wages for disabled people, as recommended by the #DisabilityRC, so while some disability-specific employers are transitioning to real min wages, they don't have support or compulsion to do so
The #DisabilityRC evidence from disabled people showed that special schools may be seen as a "choice" for parents, but they lead to segregated lives - schooling, housing, employment

โWe oppose the practice of paying disabled workers subminimum wage. It is unacceptable that in 2025 disabled people living in Australia can be paid as little as $3.01 per hour, while the minimum wage for others is $24.10 per hour.โ ourfairgo.org.au Candidates were asked if they agree: Does your party support ALL workers receiving at least minimum wage? Louise Stokes (GRN) - YES Victoria Davies (AJP) - No response Andrew Fenwick (LCP) - No response Sue Gilroy (NAT) - No response Stuart Bonds (PHON) - No response Kyle Boddan (SFF) - No response Suellen Wrightson (TOP) - No response Paul Farrelly (FFP) - NO Dan Repacholi, MP (ALP) - No response, Party NO (as at April 14 2025) HUNTER
Hey frens. my newest campaign is with @ourfairgo - they aim to ensure ALL ppl get at least minimum wage, eliminate the subminimum wage for disable people.
please follow them and amplify out message - the #DisabilityRC recommended eliminating the subminimum wage
A reminder that the #DisabilityRC recommended the elimination of the subminimum wage

"There should be laws that stop this abuse happening, except where the law says disabled people can be abused. And under this existing regulatory framework abuse of disabled people is getting more frequent and happening more often." #DisabilityRC
