The Disability Services Commissioner (DSC) is an independent oversight body resolving complaints and promoting the right of people with a disability to be free from abuse.
The Charter enshrines civil, political and cultural rights into Victorian law. Public authorities must observe those rights. New policies and legislation must also take into account human rights, and public authorities – for example, people working for the government – must also observe human rights so that members of the community are not treated unfairly.
These standards have a greater focus on person centered approaches and promote choice and control by people with disability. These are considered critical under the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The six standards are;
-
Rights
-
Participation and Inclusion
-
Individual Outcomes
-
Feedback and Complaints
-
Service Access
-
Service Management
Victoria is a proud leader in celebrating and embracing our state’s diversity and upholding the human rights of all Victorians. Every Victorian – without exception – deserves to be safe, supported and equal.
