Findings from the disability royal commission won't be confined to words on paper and will lead to tangible action, the social services minister has vowed.
In a speech to parliament, Amanda Rishworth said the federal government would take the commission's final report seriously, promising to work with the disability community on the best way to enact change.
The disability royal commission's findings were handed down last month after more than four years of hearings, making 222 recommendations.
Ms Rishworth said the evidence presented to the commission during its hearings was confronting.
"The volumes are released to be read, they should be reflected on by all of us in the years to come," Ms Rishworth told parliament on Thursday.
"Its message is clear: as a nation we must do better. Over the past four-and-a-half years, the outpouring of experiences of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation have shocked and disturbed Australians."
All levels of government would need to work together in order to properly implement the findings from the commission, the minister said.
"The royal commission proposes a vision for an inclusive Australia in which people with disability live free from harm, where human rights are protected and individuals live with dignity, equality and respect," she said.
"This vision will take a coordinated effort from all of us, including attitudinal change through greater community understanding about disability."
Findings from the royal commission will feature prominently in future meetings between federal, state and territory governments.
Ms Rishworth said the government was developing a national disability strategy, along with a national framework.
Opposition social services spokesman Michael Sukkar said the coalition would support efforts to quickly implement findings from the royal commission.
"It's been an exhaustive process to get where we are now, an important one, and I think I have no reason to doubt it could have been done any faster," he told parliament.
"The government, in our view, needs to move as quickly as possible."
