The Disability Royal Commission wants to hear your story if bad things were done to you.

They will listen to people tell their story about

• abuse
• neglect
• violence

The Royal Commission will go for 3 years.

There is lots of time for you to tell your story.

It can be hard to tell your story.

You may not know what to say.

You should talk to a support service before you tell your story.
