Freedom2Live: Aviation reforms need “genuine co-design”

The Justice and Equity Centre (JEC) and People with Disability Australia (PWDA) welcomed the White Paper as “a significant first step for the rights of people with disability, but warned that the co-design process must include “genuine engagement with people with disability and their representative organisations from start to finish”.

Erin Turner Manners, senior solicitor at JEC, said an independent regulator should be introduced alongside the new standards, to “proactively enforce the Standards so the rights of people with disability are respected.”

“The airline industry has failed to solve this problem and airlines and airports must know there are real consequences for continuing to discriminate,” she said.
