- Robert Fitzgerald (Fmr Child Abuse Royal Commissioner) at NDS CEOs’ Meeting, 2018.

The Royal Commission’s recent focus on disability services made for difficult viewing at times. Hearings included gruelling questioning and forensic investigation of services. The breadth of documentation considered was significant; in some cases, drafts of specific documents were compared with final copies.

Where we may have watched hearings of the Aged Care or Banking Royal Commissions with interest from a distance, the last month of the Disability Royal Commission felt more personal.
