Advocating for inclusion and real representation
We provide systemic advocacy to uphold the rights and voices of Australia’s physical disability community.
We build community, connection and relationships to support our members and the wider disability community.
We are a leading force working with Government and other Disability Representative Organisations (DROs) in improving the lives and inclusion of people living with disability.
Please be advised that we do not provide individual advocacy support. If you require this, please see the “See Services Link“.
Join us at a PDA hosted events such as our monthly Social Hour and Webinars.
We also encourage members to get involved in one of our committees and organisational groups. Email team@pda.org.au for more information.
Members are also invited to take part in forums and roundtables (including exclusive paid opportunities). Detailed information will be emailed to members as they become available.
Physical Disability Australia (PDA) was established in 1995. Its founding members were people living with physical disability who recognised that they were not being represented within the advocacy space at that time.
Whether you’re living with a disability, know someone who is, or simply believe in equal rights — your voice matters.
Together, we can break barriers and build a more inclusive world.
