Easy English Discussion Paper
We have produced an Easy English version of the Discussion Paper. Easy English is more accessible for people who have difficulty reading and understanding written information.
We also have information about the law reform process, about making submissions, and our policy for communication with people with disability in both Easy English and Auslan.
Producing documents in Easy English is relatively new for the ALRC. We would love to hear any thoughts or feedback you have about our documents.
