The Disability Discrimination Legal Service (DDLS) is conducting a law reform project on developing disability vilification laws to prevent the humiliation, ridicule, insult or intimidation of people with disabilities in public. 

As a means of gathering the experiences of people with disabilities, their carers and people who work with people with disability, the Disability Discrimination Legal Service will conduct a discussion about disability vilification. The discussion will be held in a safe confidential environment and be facilitated by Disability Discrimination Legal Service staff. 

A survey has been developed for those who would like to participate but are not able to attend the discussion.  To obtain a copy of the survey, or for more information, contact Adam Jones, Law Reform Worker, Disability Discrimination Legal Service, on phone 9654 8644 or email lawreform@ddls.org.au.
