This is the best summary I could come up with:

The final report by the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability has been tabled in federal parliament.

"It will report through to ministers regularly with an update on progress to be made public early next year, as a staged response to the recommendations is rolled out," Ms Rishworth said.

NDIS Minister Bill Shorten acknowledged while some in the disability sector would have liked a more immediate response, he said the government wanted to make sure it did not rush anything.

Disability advocates, who fought for decades to get the inquiry set up, have been eagerly awaiting the report.

People with Disability Australia President Nicole Lee, who gave evidence before the royal commission, said it was "a huge day for our community".

The royal commission began in 2019, and held 32 public hearings, which scrutinised the experiences of the 4.4 million Australians who live with disability.
