The Australian government has responded to the 222 recommendations of the Disability Royal Commission's final report, agreeing to 130 in full or in principle. The government has outlined $371 million in measures to implement this response, including a $227.6 million specialist disability employment program and a $40 million disability advocacy program. The response does not address calls to phase out segregated schools and group homes for people with disabilities. Progress will be reviewed every six months by a ministerial council.
