Committee on Disability Matters
Autonomy and Integrity for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Tom Ward:
On levels of collaboration between the different agencies, I am not sure NAS is one but the Department of children and disability has responsibility for the legislation now. There has been an interdepartmental group meeting on a fairly regular basis since the new Act was commenced in 2023.
We would share issues of interest and concern at that group regularly. The officials in that Department are monitoring how the roll-out is being handled. That is generally how things go there.
