“When society is designed to include people with disability from the get-go, it makes an enormous difference, giving a sense of belonging and assuring that you are not the problem, have every right to exist and to truly participate in your community as much as any person without a disability.”

Physical Disability Australia (PDA) is a national peak Disability Peoples Organisation run by and for people with physical disability, advocating for equal opportunity, inclusion and human rights across Australia. Established in 1995, PDA represents the voices and lived experiences of its members to influence policy, engage with government, and drive meaningful change, ensuring people with physical disability are respected, empowered and able to participate fully in all aspects of society.
