Easy English: Equality, Capacity and Disability in Commonwealth Laws

The Australian Law Reform Commission is looking at laws that treat people with a disability unfairly.

This Issues Paper (IP 44) talks about the problems we have learned about so far. It also has some questions. We would like people with a disability to answer the questions so we can learn more about any problems you have with the law. We would also like to hear your ideas about how to make the law fairer.

This Issues Paper is written in Easy English. We use simple words and pictures to show ideas.

The full version of this Issues Paper, and the Easy English version are both available here.

Submissions can be made online.

Submissions close on Monday 16 December 2013.
