Extension of due date for submissions to the Disability Inquiry

We have extended the due date for initial submissions
Following some parties?? requests for extensions for making a submission to the Inquiry into Disability Care and Support, the Commission has extended the due date for initial submissions to 16 August 2010. We welcome second and further submissions The Commission also welcomes second or even further submissions after the due date for the initial submission. These submissions may include additional points people wish to make, comments on others?? submissions and the results of community consultations. This may be particularly relevant to those organisations that obtain funding from the Australian Government's recently announced initiative to support public consultations by disability and carer organisations. Please still provide at least a summary note ahead of any appearance at a hearing The Commission would still like people presenting at public hearings to provide either an initial submission or at least some notes of their key points ahead of their appence at the hearings, since this allows a better discussion of the issues.
