Australia is a stable, democratic and culturally diverse nation with a highly skilled workforce and one of the strongest performing economies in the world.
Australia is stepping up its support to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end in our region and globally. Vaccine equity and human rights are central to our approach.
Australia thanks the Special Rapporteur for his report on Artificial Intelligence and the rights of persons with disabilities, highlighting both the opportunities and risks of these emerging technologies.
Our countries recognise the key role that statistical and research data plays in identifying and addressing barriers faced by persons with disabilities in exercising their rights. Collecting disability and sex disaggregated data enables us to formulate and implement policies that allow for a more inclusive society which recognises and values persons with disabilities as equal participants.
