Disability Services Bill 1993 Clauses 4 and 13
Legislation Committee (1989 - 2001)· 30 November 1993general_report
The WA Parliamentary Legislation Committee reviewed clauses 4 and 13 of the Disability Services Bill 1993 following concerns about their impact on disabled people. The committee recommended deleting clause 4 and substituting it with a clause clarifying that the Act doesn't create legally enforceable service entitlements. Clause 13 was recommended to be retained.
Impact
People with disabilities, service providers, and the Disability Services Commission are affected. The changes aim to clarify legal entitlements to services and ensure the Act's efficient operation given finite resources.
