We were founded in 2012 based on the principle that discrimination and stigma but also the culture towards disability have to change and be reshaped and owned by people living with the daily effects, positive and negative, of disability.

It is only through an authentic conversation about disability affairs, only then is the dialogue created and the catalyst for change ignited and given an avenue to ignite social advancement.

​Aims and Purpose:

To support the development of new technologies that improve the quality of life and the independence of persons living with a disability

To provide persons with a disability with a forum through which they can express their views on government policies and other matters of relevance to their disability

To support and enable fair and unbiased media representation of disability-related issues, through the development of news and original content

To provide community-wide education on disability-related issues so as to reduce the instances of discrimination suffered by persons with a disability

To establish an online community that encourages greater interaction between disabled and able-bodied people

To promote the concept of ‘disability’ as a strong, healthy form of identity.

Australian Red Cross - ACT

Whether it's a major natural disaster or a personal crisis in your own home, Red Cross is there to give immediate and practical help with disaster relief and recovery.

Reaching people in remote places around the world rapidly to provide shelter, food and medical help provides a lifeline. Reaching out to those cut off by flood waters and fire at home reassures and sustains.

Re-connecting families or finding out the fate of loved ones torn apart by war or disaster lets people get on with their lives. A hot meal for someone living rough means making a connection when it seems no one else is there to help.

We are among the first to arrive and last to leave when disaster strikes, and an important part of our local communities every day.
