The People with Disability Australia (PWDA) Board have opened nominations for the following PWDA Board Advisory Groups:

  • Governance Advisory Group

  • Strategic Directions Advisory Group

This is an opportunity for PWDA Members who are people with disability to:

  • Contribute to the work of PWDA in a voluntary capacity,
  • Work with other members to offer PWDA advice about major issues that affect people with disability,
  • Make sure all our members’ voices are heard through participatory, inclusive and accessible processes,
  • Work together with other members on ways to reduce barriers to participation; and
  • Connect with other people with disability.

What are some of the benefits of joining a Board Advisory Group?
