Disabled People’s Organisations

Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) are run by people with disability.

They promote the rights and wellbeing of people with disability.

They also support people with disability to have their say about:

• politics
• what’s happening in the community.

Joining a DPO is a good way to:

• make friends
• build support groups
• have more opportunities in the community.

DPOs in Australia include:
