The first hearing scheduled for 2022 is in February and will dig into Centrelink’s Disability Employment Services.

Other hearing topics announced so far include guardianship arrangements and substituted decision making, Australian Disability Enterprises (also known as sheltered workshops), and the second part of the postponed hearing on women and girls with disability.
