Physical Disability Australia Ltd - PDA (formerly Physical Disability Council of Australia Ltd - PDCA) is a national disability peak organisation, funded by the Australian Government, through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FAHCSIA).
We are an organisation founded by people with physical disabilities in 1995, to act as a change agent for the rights, views and beliefs of all Australians with a physical disability.
We are run by and for people with physical disability. All Board members and where possible, staff are people with physical disability. The board is nominated and elected by individual members in their own state or territory.
Physical Disability Australia believes in the uniqueness and ability of people with physical disabilities and encourages more people to become involved as a member and through our own discussion list Physdis@yahoogroups.com.
Physical Disability Australia welcomes new members (membership is free to individuals who have a disability), whether as individuals, families and support persons, or organisations.
