Labor considers Disability Reform

Disability Reform, including a national no-fault insurance scheme, will be a key social policy priority for the Gillard government.

Jenny Macklin says that the Government will take "very seriously" any recommendation made next year by the Productivity Commission for a National Disability Insurance Scheme.

She said the Government was waiting for the Commission's draft report early next year before its final report mid-year, at which time "the  Government will look very seriously at the recommendations".
