Our sponsorships
The Australian Government, through the Department of Social Services, sponsors a small number of national awards, events and activities across Australia. The aim of our sponsorships is to:
- raise awareness of International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) across Australia
- promote awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability among mainstream audiences.
We do not currently provide funding or sponsorship opportunities for local IDPwD events.
If you manage a national award, event or activity, please visit the Department of Social Services sponsorship page for information about how to submit a sponsorship proposal.
Our 2025 sponsorships so far are:
