On Sunday 1 February, Physical Disability Australia (PDA) will host the fourth Physical Disability Awareness Day, and you’re invite to join the celebrations.
This year’s theme is “Creative Possibilities” (#CreativePossibilities) and will showcase some incredible people who have accomplished careers in the creative and artistic space (including literature, media production and performance), but also highlight everyone’s creative abilities.
PDA Ambassador, Dr. Dinesh Palipana OAM is a prominent Australian doctor, lawyer, and disability advocate who was a keynote speaker at the 2023 Aruma Human Rights Conference.
He said: “Days like Physical Disability Awareness Day are important, because they connect the world to the journeys of people with physical disability. It’s how the world moves forward, to make a better life for everyone. However, storytelling is an important part of awareness. For people with disability, creative events are one way to tell stories, to bring awareness to the world, to create unity and inclusion.”
