Why is Pakistan not in the list? There are many federal and provincial laws specifically on disability
Could you please help me add Pakistan’s relevant legislation to the list?
I was looking at the various list of laws relating to disabled people from various countries. and When I clicked on the Australian laws, it sent me to the Armenian document rather than the Australian. There seems to be a broken link somewhere.
Hi Colleen, thanks for informing me of the wrong link. I have corrected the link, you can now see the Australian Disability Discrimination Act 1992
