Each year on 3 December, International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) brings the world together to reflect, celebrate, and advocate for a more inclusive world.
We continue to share stories of our Members, whose leadership shapes not only their own lives but also our communities. It’s about celebrating our journey and the role we all play in building an environment where everyone is respected and supported to live a life of their own choice.
The IDPwD program aligns with Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-31 and aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.

This year’s IDPwD Ambassadors exemplify the theme of amplifying leadership. These advocates and changemakers come from diverse backgrounds, each making a significant impact in their own way. From community leaders to athletes, educators, and artists, their stories remind us of the power of resilience, innovation, and advocacy in driving meaningful change. IDPwD Ambassadors are our storytellers, who continue to help drive meaningful change across Australia. Learn more about the Ambassadors.
