It is a national disability rights, information, advocacy and representative organisation.

PWDA was founded in 1981 and has a vision of a socially just, inclusive and accessible community, in which the human rights, belonging, contribution, potential and diversity of all people with disability are recognised, respected and celebrated with pride.

PWDA is led by a Board of Directors elected through our membership base of people with disability from across Australia.

Many of our staff are also people with disability.

We are a designated Disabled Persons' Organisation with a cross disability focus and are a not for profit, non-government organisation.
