IDPwD 2020

In 2020, we promoted and acknowledged the achievements and contributions of people with disability through online stories and videos which will be shared on the IDPwD website and social media channels.

For IDPwD 2020, we partnered with the ABC to feature the creative work of emerging content makers with disability. The partnership provides a unique national platform to increase public awareness, understanding and recognition of the contributions of people with disability within our community. Programs will run across ABC Radio, TV, online and on demand.

We encourage you to share our messages of inclusion and diversity and your own messages of ‘seeing the ability in disability’ through your online and social media channels – #DisableStereotypes.
