The Disability Rights Commissioner is so concerned about the situation for disabled people during omicron, she has launched an inquiry.

Paula Tesoreiro says she is worried about a lack of targeted, accessible information for disabled people, support for testing, help for those experiencing difficulties self-isolating, and the continuity of essential in-home services for disabled people.

She says she has heard multiple anecdotes about people being let down by the current response.
