Disability Inclusion legislation: feedback invited on new NSW regulation

From the NSW ADHC website:

The Disability Inclusion Bill 2014 was passed by the NSW Parliament on 14 August 2014 and is now the Disability Inclusion Act 2014 (the Act). The Act is available on the NSW legislation website at www.legislation.nsw.gov.au

The Act aims to better recognise the human rights of people with disability and to help people move to the new funding arrangements under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Before the Act can commence, the Disability Inclusion Regulation 2014 needs to be finalised to ensure the Act operates effectively. The draft Regulation has now been issued for public consultation.

It is planned that the new Act and Regulation will start on 3 December 2014, International Day of People with Disability.

Further information about how to provide feedback is here. The closing date for feedback is 5pm on 27 October 2014.
