Disability Dialogue is a safe space where people with disability, families, representative organisations, providers, researchers, and the wider community work together on things that matter to us.
We are led by people with disability. That means we're the ones in charge, generating ideas, making decisions, and leading the way.
We are a joint initiative of DANA, Inclusion Australia, Ability First Australia and the Melbourne Disability Institute.
