It recommended the proposed National Housing and Homelessness Plan and the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council include people with disability &ldquo;as a priority group in developing reforms&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Recommended changes to tenancy legislation in all Australian jurisdictions to go beyond restricting no-grounds evictions, and require landlords of private rentals to &ldquo;demonstrate a good reason for terminating any tenancy of residential accommodation&rdquo;, and for state and territory administrative tribunals to take into account a tenant&rsquo;s disability in possession rulings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">More broadly, the report recommends the establishment of a new system for reporting and investigating issues and complaints as well as the creation of a program that supports standardising disability worker training and registration.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Inclusive Housing Australia supports the findings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Disability Royal Commission was incredibly hard for all involved. Particularly the people with disability who told their stories. Stories of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation, it is now our job to make sure these stories are not repeated, to create the more inclusive and just society that the Commission has challenged us to create.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A more inclusive and just society is central to Inclusive Housing Australia&rsquo;s purpose, the homes that we create, the relationships we develop with the people we support are our contribution to this vision.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/disability.royalcommission.gov.au\/publications\/final-report\"><a href=\"https:\/\/disability.royalcommission.gov.au\/publications\/final-report\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Click here for the final report<\/span><\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability released its final report in September 2023.
