Despite such reforms (and sometimes accompanying them 57), discrimination, harassment and violence on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and bodily variations in sex characteristics, remain prevalent.58 Within 18 months, Australia must:  advance reforms in remaining states which impose unjust hurdles (including requirements for surgery) on people seeking official identity documents reflecting their gender; 59  implement recommendations on ending harmful practices (including forced and coercive medical interventions) to ensure the bodily integrity of children with intersex variations; 60  ensure access to redress, independent affirmative peer support and psychosocial support for people with intersex variations and their families;61  capture SOGIESC data62 in its 2021 national census and other significant collections to provide a robust evidence-base for future public policy and government interventions; and  implement effective measures to reduce SOGIESC-based bullying, harassment and violence, particularly targeted at youth.63 PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY The National Disability Strategy (NDS) is Australia’s policy framework to implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In 2019, the CRPD Committee raised serious concerns about the lack of implementation, funding and oversight of the NDS. 64 The new NDS must be properly resourced through a robust National Disability Agreement between all levels of Government. Transparent monitoring and evaluation of outcomes for people with disability must be linked to accountability measures across Governments, ensuring targets are met. People with disability, and their representative organisations, must also be positioned at the centre of the NDS’s development, implementation and monitoring. Legislation regulating legal capacity remains problematic. 65 Australia’s Interpretative Declarations to CRPD Articles 12, 17 and 18 prevent reform and allow human rights violations. 66 No progress has been made towards a national Supported Decision-Making Framework.67 Despite persistent UN recommendations,68 behaviour management, involuntary treatments and restrictive practices occur across a range of settings. 69 Australia must withdraw CRPD Interpretative Declarations before 202670 and modify, repeal or nullify laws, policies and practices which deny or diminish equal recognition before the law. Australia must eliminate restrictive practices, involuntary treatment, forced sterilisation and medically unnecessary interventions of people with disability. People with disability, particularly women,71 experience significant72 violence and abuse. The Disability Royal Commission must address the systemic drivers of this violence and establish national mechanisms for redress, complaint and oversight. CHILDREN Australia must fully incorporate the CRC into domestic legislation and policy within three years. The National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009-2020 lacked sufficient focus on preventing violence against children, economic, social and cultural rights, non-discrimination, and participatory rights. 7
