Since 1994, non-corporate Commonwealth entities have reported on their
performance as policy adviser, purchaser, employer, regulator and provider under the
Commonwealth Disability Strategy. In 2007–08, reporting on the employer role was
transferred to the Australian Public Service Commission’s State of the Service reports
and the APS Statistical Bulletin. These reports are available at www.apsc.gov.au.
From 2010–11, entities have no longer been required to report on these functions.
The Commonwealth Disability Strategy has been overtaken by the National Disability
Strategy 2010–20, which sets out a 10-year national policy framework to improve
the lives of people with disability, promote participation and create a more inclusive
society. Over the life of the Strategy, a two-yearly report with national trend indicator
data will track progress on the achievement of better outcomes for people with
disability. The 2014 and 2016 reports published by the Department of Social Services
are available at: https://www.dss.gov.au/disability-and-carers-supporting-people-with-disability/resources.
