What this is about

The committee is reviewing how the Persons with Disabilities Act has worked in practice: the duties it set on the National Government, the register it created, the accessible-buildings rule, the tax relief on assistive devices, and the public-service jobs quota. It is a test fixture — every submission here is synthetic.

Key points

  • Duties on the National Government
  • A national register
  • Accessible public buildings
  • Tax relief on assistive devices
  • A 5% public-service employment quota
