The disability royal commission has told one of Australia's largest disability service providers to consider paying financial compensation to a woman who was sexually assaulted by one of its support workers.

Life Without Barriers (LWB) has been asked to examine whether it should make an "ex gratia payment" to a woman, who the disability royal commission refers to as Natalie, following an indecent assault in 2014.
