Don't DIS my ABILITY

Did you know that 1 in 5 people in Australia have a disability? That's 1.4 million people in NSW alone.
Take a minute now to reflect on how people with disabilities are included in all aspects of life - political, social, economic and cultural?
What can you do so people with disabilities are fully included in our community?

In NSW, IDPwD (International Day of People with Disability) is celebrated throughout November and December with the Don’t DIS my ABILITY campaign.
