About us

Who we are

The Disability Dialogue is a national project that helps people with disability share stories, ideas, and experiences.

It’s a place to:

· Connect with others

· Collaborate on real, lasting solutions to long-term challenges

· Share lived experiences as we choose.

This is a community led by people with disability. That means people with disability decide what matters most, lead the conversations, and shape the outcomes.

What we do

We run disability-led events, projects and conversations, to generate new ideas by coming at old problems from different angles. 

This video helps explain why the Disability Dialogue is important and how we bring a range of different stakeholder groups together to find common ground.
