The aim of our sponsorships is to:
- raise awareness of International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) across Australia
- promote awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability among mainstream audiences.
We do not currently provide funding or sponsorship opportunities for local IDPwD events.
Proposals to sponsor a national award, event or activity can be emailed to idpwd@health.gov.au for consideration.
Our current sponsorships are listed below.
