More DDA in 2019

Since the end of June 2018, DDA has been receiving bits  of funding from both the Federal and NSW governments.

We can keep going with the work of 'Nothing about us without Us".

We have also been successful in our application to the NDIA Information, Linkages and Capacity building to not only continue with our current work, but also to assist our peers in Hurstville to set up their Chinese community Peer support group.​
      .. stay tuned and get involved!

About Diversity and Disability Alliance

Who we are:
Diversity and Disability Alliance is a user led disability support organisation, run by and for people with disability from diverse backgrounds with the support of families and allies. We assist people to live the lives they choose. We are an independent, collective voice committed to diversity and full inclusion.

What we want to achieve:
Diversity and Disability Alliance strives for an inclusive, diverse and just society where people with disability have voice, choice and control over our lives.

What we do:
  • maximise the knowledge, skills and capacity of people with disability, their families and allies from diverse backgrounds
  • build the capacity of all communities to include people with disability
  • share our collective lived experiences
 
We believe that each person with disability has the right to:
  • genuine voice, choice and control of their lives
  • genuine and meaningful inclusion in the social, economic, cultural and political life of the communities they choose to belong to
  • have a collective voice which promotes our common experiences and  recognises and values the diversity of our communities
  • to live in line with the principles and articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
