Be part of creating an inclusive and diverse community in Australia.

International Day of People with Disability, 3 December

Start planning your IDPwD 2025 event

Events are a great way to start a conversation about disability and promote a more inclusive community. We have information kits to help schools, community groups and workplaces plan their event.

Get involved!

2025 theme

The United Nations usually announces the official theme for IDPwD in late October or early November. We will update this website as soon as the 2025 theme is announced.

To learn more about the history of IDPwD, see our fact sheets.
