2026 IDPwD Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors will help promote IDPwD and share their unique experiences and perspectives.
IDPwD Yarning Guide
We’ve released a Yarning Guide to help First Nations communities start conversations about disability. It focuses on real stories of First Nations people with disability. Download the guide and start a yarn about disability in your community, school or workplace.
IDPwD Community Conversation Guide
Our IDPwD Community Conversation Guide is designed to help the community talk about IDPwD and disability. We encourage you to download this guide to have conversations about disability all year round in your workplace, school or community group.
IDPwD 2026 UN Theme
The theme for IDPwD 2026 is ‘The CRPD at 20: Building on Progress, Advancing the Future’.
The theme looks at what has improved since the United Nations agreed to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and what still needs to change.
