Welcome to Australian Disability, a place that aims to express disability, not as a disease, disorder or stigma but as a part of a person's identity and reason for being.

Australian Disability is an organisation proudly run and led by persons with disabilities, carers, professionals and guided by the wider community in a core belief in social inclusion and the fundamental human rights to equality, dignity, self-determination but above all to better society by reclaiming disability as an identity.

We were founded in 2012 by one individual and based on the principal that discrimination and stigma but also the culture towards disability has to change and be reshaped and owned by people living with the daily effects, positive and negative about disability.

It is only through an authentic conversation about disability affairs, only than is a dialogue created and the catalyst for change ignited and given a way to spark social advancement. Our Aims and Purpose:

1 To provide new techniques to assist the quality of life and independence of persons with a disability though the advancement of technology. 2 To give persons with a disability a forum in which they have a right to express their views towards government policy and matters relevant to disability. 3 To enable fair and equal media representation through the development of news and original content. 4 To provide education about disability and related issues with the hope that it will reduce discrimination. 5 To establish an online community to encourage more interaction between disabled and able bodied people. 6 To accept the concept of “disability” as an identity and not a dominate discourse.
