Commonwealth discriminates against people with intellectual disability, High Court rules

The Commonwealth must stop employment discrimination and segregation and instead support real inclusion, real jobs, real wages and uphold  basic human rights

Today, the High Court of Australia dismissed the Commonwealth’s application to appeal the Federal Court decision which ruled that the Business Services Wage Assessment Tool (BSWAT) discriminated against people with intellectual disability.

Today’s decision is a triumph for the human rights of people with intellectual disability in Australia.
