Why we need a tracker
The Disability Royal Commission (DRC) was over a long time ago, but people with disability are still waiting for real change.
The DRC Final Report was released back in 2023 and included 222 recommendations aimed at addressing violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation experienced by people with disability in Australia.
Since then, governments have published updates, including the 2025 Progress Report. These updates are spread across thousands of pages of complex documents, making it hard for the community to see what has actually changed.
We took the time to go through the 6,788 page Progress Report, and it showed very little has been achieved in the last 2 years.
The DRC may be over — but the work of accountability is just beginning.
People with disability deserve to know:
That’s why we are building a public DRC Tracker. This online tool will translate government responses into clear, accessible updates with a visual tracker showing progress on each recommendation.
We need your support to help us analyse government reports, build and maintain the tracker, and provide transparent updates so the disability community, advocates, journalists and policymakers can see what progress is being made — and where change is still needed.
The DRC created a roadmap for change.
Help us make sure it doesn’t sit on the shelf.
Who are we?
The DRC Tracker is a project by the Queensland Independent Disability Advocacy Network (QIDAN). Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion (QAI) is overseeing the development of the tracker and coordinating fundraising activities that support its ongoing delivery on behalf of QIDAN.
Our advocates are on the front lines supporting people with disability to address the barriers that impact their lives the most. We know just how much the DRC recommendations would transform the lives of the people we support if they were fully implemented.
We also witnessed firsthand the many people in the disability community who gave evidence to the DRC at great personal risk of experiencing further trauma.
It is this experience and knowledge that drive us and make us so determined to ensure those stories are not shared publicly for nothing - that the DRC is not forgotten.
