We deserve your time And respect. We are worthy Of being seen, heard We all have the right to be heard, however there are barriers to sharing stories with the Royal Commission. Some of these barriers have been placed on us by external factors. Fear of retribution may have seen the ACT community hesitate in coming forward to share their experiences, together with uncertainty around confidentiality of their stories. Thankfully the privacy issue has been resolved recently, with legislation passed by parliament to protect confidential information provided to a Royal Commission. This means that any person who shares confidential information with the Disability Royal Commission will have their privacy protected, even after the Royal Commission ends. This legislation will make it safer for people to share their stories.
