“…there seems to be confusion amongst some people as to whether MCS is classified as a
disability. We would like to assure this committee that the Equal Opportunity Commission
and the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission consider MCS to be a legitimate
disability under the Disability Discrimination Act, and will act on legitimate claims of
discrimination from people with MCS. In relation to MCS disability access, it is very clear
that we need a broad access strategy for all areas of public life, such as public buildings,
public spaces, public transport, schools, supermarkets and other basic services.”
