Event registrations are open for councils, clubs, community groups, schools and businesses for events celebrating International Day of People with Disability on 3 December 2018.
There are already more than 300 public events registered nationally taking place on or around International Day of People with Disability, with events listed by state or territory.
Assistant Minister for Social Services, Housing and Disability Services, Sarah Henderson, said the United Nations day aims to help break down barriers for the 4.3 million Australians living with disability.
“By holding an event, you are celebrating the diversity of your community as well as helping make Australia a more inclusive place for everyone,” she said.
“We all have a role to play to ensure people with disability have the same opportunities to reach their full potential.
“The International Day of People with Disability website is a great place to start for event ideas and resources to help plan your event.”
