International Day of People with Disability is a United Nations-sanctioned day that aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability while celebrating achievements and successes across the globe.

The theme of this year’s lunch was "Leading the Change for improved opportunities and advancement of people with disability", with a focus on diversity and inclusion.

Back due to popular demand, this year’s event also featured the popular marketplace, showcasing local enterprises and micro-enterprises run by people with disability.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday 2 December. We had a wonderful day celebrating together, accompanied by fantastic entertainment, wonderful panellists and a bustling Marketplace.

Special thanks to our event co-MCs Chris Kerr and Brad Scott who did a brilliant job of running the event, and thanks to The Hon. Don Punch for helping us celebrate this day.
