The Disability Services Commission (the Commission) joined the Department of Communities (Communities) when it was established under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 on 1 July 2017.
At that time, public sector officers employed by the Commission were transferred to the new department. Commission officers who are not public servants continue to be employed by the Commission under the Disability Services Act 1993.
The Minister for Disability Services has given approval under section 10 of the Disability Services Act for the Commission to use Communities’ services.
The Commission has specific reporting requirements in accordance with the Financial Management Act 2006, which are contained in this report. All other information for the financial year is contained in Communities’ annual report 2019–20.
Annual reports may also be obtained from the Parliament of Western Australia website.
