Description
The Disability Royal Commission contracted Taylor Fry and the Centre for International Economics to cost violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation experienced by people with disability in Australia. This report documents the project’s findings, in line with the Commission's agreed scope of work. Specifically this includes:
- estimates of the annual economic cost of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability in Australia and the lifetime economic cost of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability in Australia
- disaggregation of results by type of cost and population group
- a profile of government funding that contributes to outcomes for people with disability
- identification of areas where current data and research could be strengthened.
