About the Tonkin 10/10 Bill

The Tonkin 10/10 Bill represents a landmark piece of proposed legislation that redefines how society approaches inclusion, accessibility, and the rights of people with disability, carers, and their families. Authored after more than fifteen years of dedicated advocacy and consultation, the Bill introduces the first set of community inclusion metrics in Australia, setting measurable standards designed to shift policy from vague commitments to practical, enforceable outcomes.

At the heart of the Bill lies a recognition that 21% of Australians live with disability, yet society still largely disables them through poor planning, inaccessible infrastructure, and inadequate services. The Bill does not frame disability as an individual impairment but rather as a product of social exclusion. By legislating clear inclusion benchmarks, the Tonkin 10/10 Bill seeks to disrupt entrenched inequality and create environments where all people can fully participate. The Tonkin 10/10 means that 10% of services should meet the needs of those in a wheelchair and 10% should meet the needs of the mobile population with hidden disabilities. This adds up to 20%, closely representing the 21% of the population, 5.5 million Australians with disabilities.

The Tonkin 10/10 Bill creates the 10/10 community inclusion (CMI) categories for:

• Toilets
• Transport
• Venue/Stadium seats
• Carparks
• And ensures access ticketing is the same as those who are able bodied and removes discriminatory practices.

The Tonkin 10/10 Bill also addresses the absence of accountability within existing disability and inclusion policies. Too often, organisations can claim to be accessible without measurable proof. By setting quantifiable, enforceable metrics, the Bill closes this gap, ensuring compliance is transparent and outcomes are trackable. This shift from aspiration to action makes it a disruptive force within the sector as it is a basic human right to access the community.

The Tonkin 10/10 Bill also meets the Human Rights Declaration of Article 21, 22 and 27 and United Nations Sustainability Development goals 9, 10 &11.
