About
International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is held on 3 December each year.
IDPwD is a United Nations observed day aimed at increasing public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.
The Australian Government has been supporting IDPwD since 1996 and provides funds to promote and raise awareness of the day and support activities around Australia.
We also celebrate the contributions and achievements of people with disability and promote inclusion through our sponsorships and IDPwD ambassadors.

Information about how you can get involved and help break down barriers (both structural and attitudinal) for people with disability can be found on this website.
