The COVID-19 Omicron variant has created "acute fears" for people with disabilities and their care and support, the Disability Royal Commission says.
A statement from the commission lists 10 areas of concern, including an overall de-prioritisation and a lack of access to vaccinations for people with disability and support workers.
Concerns also include "severe disruptions" to services from furloughing of staff and a lack of equipment for effective disease prevention.
It also cites government language in public reporting of deaths related to COVID-19, with respect to the underlying health status of individuals.
"The royal commission is concerned that people with disability are still not being appropriately prioritised during this phase of the pandemic in relation to health care, disability support and the vaccine/booster rollout," the statement reads.
"We have heard the more virulent Omicron variant, combined with the significant easing of restrictions ... has created problems for people with disability.
"Advocacy groups and key organisations have expressed acute fears for the health, safety and wellbeing of people with disability."
It is the second statement of concern released throughout the pandemic, after the first in March 2020.
Social Services Minister Anne Ruston said the 10 areas of concern had been addressed, but added she did not want to diminish the concerns.
"There have been significant activities that address many of the concerns that have been raised," she said.
Department of Social Services executive Luke Mansfield said 72.5 per cent of people living in residential disability accommodation had received a booster vaccination, while 86.5 per cent of NDIS participants in residential aged care have been boosted.
Of all NDIS participants aged 16 and older, 61.8 per cent have been boosted.
Some 61 NDIS participants have died with COVID-19 throughout the pandemic.
