Halting Hate, Finding Kindness

In 2025, Australia is deciding what kind of community it wants to be. While disability pride and participation have grown, rising ableist hate speech, disinformation, and casual discrimination threaten the progress we’ve made together.

I-DAY 2025 brings together thought leaders across Australia to confront this challenge head-on. This isn’t a single statement or one-day hashtag – it’s a collective reboot of our commitment to dignity, truth, safety, and belonging.

Join us for a powerful day of dialogue that will:

• Surface the problem: Understand the origins, sources, and escalation of harmful speech about disability

• Examine real consequences: Explore impacts on discrimination, employment, mental health, and community safety

• Chart the path forward: Develop practical commitments across government, business, civil society, and the disability community
