The disability royal commission has called a hearing into the federal government’s handling of the vaccine rollout for people with disabilities and disability workers. ...

Commodore Eric Young, co-ordinator of the vaccines operation centre, said 101 disability care homes had received first doses to date, and 19 had received second doses. There are more than 6000 disability homes with 25,000 residents across the country.

Labor’s NDIS spokesman Bill Shorten welcomed the special hearing into how the government had responded to the commission’s November report. Greens Disability spokesman Senator Jordon Steele-John said people with disabilities had once again had been left out of the federal government’s COVID-19 response.“With the vaccine rollout, it’s clear the Morrison government has wilfully ignored the warnings of the disability community and the Royal Commission chair, choosing to exclude disabled people and the people who support us from receiving priority vaccinations,” he said.
