Commissioners for Aboriginal Engagement

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:25): Will the Commissioners for Aboriginal Engagement be working specifically with the First Peoples Disability Network to get an understanding of the barriers for Aboriginal people with disabilities, especially access to support services in remote areas like the APY lands?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:25): I thank the honourable member for her important question. I would be happy, if it would be of benefit, to introduce her to the Commissioners for Aboriginal Engagement. They will work across a whole range of areas. Their life experience will mean that they will pursue particular areas and, over the next few weeks, we will be discussing more widely where they would like to concentrate their work. I would be happy to work with the Hon. Kelly Vincent to make sure that the issues that are important to her are known about by our commissioners.
