Celebrated on December 3 every year, the United Nations-sanctioned day aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability, and celebrate their achievements and contributions.
Western Australia's theme for IDPwD in 2023 is 'My Life, Our Community', which acknowledges that everyone has the right to make decisions for their life. The theme also highlights the value and importance of everyone having the opportunity to be involved and play an active role within their community.
The IDPWD grants program, funded by Department of Communities and administered by Developmental Disability WA, allocated between $500 and $1000 to organisations to host inclusive events and activities during the week of December 3.
