ACD advocates for an inclusive community where children with disability and their families thrive.
We influence public policy to realise and advance the rights of children with disability and their families.
We collaborate and work in partnership with researchers, community sector leaders and government to increase our impact.
We work for positive impact and systemic change through recognising the expertise and experiences of families. We value and amplify the voices of children with disability in our work.
