Survey around Australia's Disability Strategy Outcomes Framework

ABOUT US

Physical Disability Australia (PDA) is a national peak Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO), led by people with physical disability, for people with disability.

Established in 1995, PDA was created to represent, support and advocate for Australians living with physical disability. We work together to advocate, connect and create opportunities, so that every person can reach their full potential.

With members and representation across every state and territory, we engage with government, promote equity, diversity and inclusion, and work to ensure our values - and the voices of Australians with physical disability - are consistently reflected, upheld and championed.

If you are not yet a PDA member, we invite and encourage you to be part of a community that cares, makes a difference and fuels change.

PDA's FREE MEMBERSHIP is available to all Australians living with disability, their families, friends, carers, support workers, service providers of anyone with a positive interest in improving Australia's disability landscape.
