Review of the Ageing and Disability Commissioner Act

The NSW Department of Communities and Justice is conducting an independent review of the Ageing and Disability Commissioner Act (2019). The Act established the role of the Ageing and Disability Commissioner to help protect vulnerable adults with disability and older people from abuse, neglect and exploitation.

The Act is being reviewed to determine whether:

  • The policy objectives of the Act remain valid; and
  • The terms of the Act are still appropriate to help meet those objectives.

Councils are invited to make a submission on the review using the consultation materials available via "Have your Say" website. 

Make a submission 

The closing date for all survey responses and written feedback is 5pm, Friday 16 December 2022.

LGNSW also encourages you to circulate this information via your networks who work with or provide support to adults with a disability or older people, to participate in the review.
