Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability – Employment Issues Paper

In September 2020, Mental Health Australia provided a submission in response to the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with a Disability’s Employment Issues Paper. The submission explains the complex and bidirectional relationship between mental ill-health and unemployment. It provides a range of recommendations to ensure workplaces are mentally healthy, assist people with psychosocial disability to be appropriately supported to find and keep meaningful work and to ensure policy reflects the needs of people with psychosocial disability.
