It's the third most common disability in the world, yet research shows people are twice as likely to experience mental health problems if they have issues with their hearing.

Accessible Government Publishing

The Disability Royal Commission Final Report is over 7000 pages, all as PDF and Word downloads - formats that are difficult to consume online. Imagine if this document, and all other Government reports, were easily accessible in web format. Word and PDF pre-date the internet. Surely the time has come for Government to embrace new technology in making this information easily accessible. https://royalcommission.revealr.ai/app/
