This coming Wednesday (3rd December) marks the 2025 International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD).
As a day recognised annually through the United Nations (UN) internationally, this important event works to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.
Since it’s inception in 1992, the IDPwD runs a theme each year. This year’s theme is
“Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress.”
With 5.5 million people in Australia living with disability, this Wednesday government, schools, organisations, community groups, businesses and individuals will work together to help promote and raise awareness of this day.
Events are being run throughout Australia. You can find out what’s happening in your local area by going to:
