The PWDA community were out loud and proud at the 46th Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday 2 March 2024. To the loud cheers of the spectators, our members proudly asserted our rights, as they danced, wheeled, and marched along Oxford Street.
People with Disability with Australia (PWDA) through our Advancing Women Project are pleased to invite you to our International Women’s Day event, Leading Change – A Webinar for Women with Disability on Leadership.
It is with sadness that People with Disability Australia (PWDA) announce the resignation of Nicole Lee as our President and Board Director effective Thursday 11 January 2024.
PWDA members are invited to register your interest to join PWDA as marchers in the 2024 Sydney Mardi Gras parade! There is a limited number of spots for participants and priority will be given to PWDA members and LGBTQIA+ community members.
Born out of the dire need to address the shortcomings of the existing support system, the NDIS has emerged as a lifeline for millions, offering a pathway to independence, dignity, and a better quality of life.
A new report from People with Disability Australia (PWDA) has highlighted the significant barriers women and children with disability face when accessing domestic and family violence services.
“To me, good support from the NDIS means understanding my disability from my point of view. It means giving me what I need to thrive and letting me choose the supports that work best for me. It means getting roadblocks out of my way.”
PWDA members approved the appointment of Eva Sifis and Kevyn Morris as new board directors for a two-year term. They join returning board directors Arun Barramundi, Haidi Badawi, Marayke Jonkers, Dr Michelle Hyde, Nicole Lee, Presley Chihuri, Suresh Rajan and Dr Zhila Hasanloo.
