About Us
We strive for an inclusive, diverse and just society where people with disability have voice, choice and control over our lives.

Who we are
Diversity and Disability Alliance (DDAlliance) is a user-led disability support organisation, run by and for people with disability from diverse backgrounds with the support of families and allies. We assist people to live the lives they choose. We are an independent, collective voice committed to diversity and full inclusion.
What we do
- Maximise the knowledge, skills and capacity of people with disability, their families and allies from diverse backgrounds.
- Build the capacity of all communities to include people with disability.
- Share our collective lived experiences.
We believe each person with disability has the right to:
- genuine voice, choice and control of their lives.
- genuine and meaningful inclusion in the social, economic, cultural and political life of the communities they choose to belong.
- have a collective voice which promotes our common experiences and recognises and values the diversity of our communities.
- live in line with the principles and articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
