Description

Law and Social Justice: Supporting Capacity and Capability is an elective subject in postgraduate programs offered by the Faculty of Law. The subject examines and evaluates how the law can best achieve the goals of social justice for people with disability in Australia.  A particular focus is the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act introduced in 2013 in response to Australia’s obligations to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.  The Scheme supports people with disability to build skills and capability so they can participate in the community and employment.  Significantly, the Scheme has created new business opportunities, start-up companies and growth of providers in an open marketplace.
