International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is a United Nations observed day celebrated internationally on 3 December.

The day aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability and celebrate their achievements and contributions.

IDPwD is an opportunity for us to make positive changes to the lives of the 4.4 million Australians with disability.

As an individual, school, community group, business or organisation, there are many ways you can get involved and promote inclusion in your community.
