The Royal Commission has released its Interim Report covering the initial 15 months of the Commission's work, to 31 July 2020.

In a media release, the Commission notes the cut-off date was too soon for firm recommendations to be made. The report covers three hearings – on education, group homes and healthcare for people with cognitive disability – with information drawn from respective Public Hearing Reports and submissions received.

The most interesting parts of the report identify emerging themes and lay out the Commission's future direction.
