Assistance Animals: Report (pdf)

The Commission’s report, tabled in Parliament on 29 January 2009, recommended improving the legal protection for people with disabilities who rely on assistance animals. Amendments were suggested to the Equal Opportunity Act 1995 (Vic) and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) to strengthen the rights of users. The report also recommended establishing a simple regulatory scheme for the training, registration and identification of assistance animals.
