International Day of People with a Disability (IDPWD) is celebrated annually in NSW with the Don’t DIS my ABILITY campaign. The campaign celebrates the diversity and ability of people with a disability. It is about promoting positive perceptions and building an environment that encourages active participation in careers, leisure pursuits as well as social activities.

International Day of People with a Disability (IDPWD) is designated by the United Nations as a time to celebrate and recognise the achievements, contributions and abilities of people with a disability and is celebrated on December 3 each year.

Don’t DIS my ABILITY continues to support the aims of Stronger Together funding by raising community awareness of the needs of people with a disability and their ability to make life choices relating not only to their care, but their career aspirations, relationships and social activities.

The 2011 UN theme is Together for a better world for all: Including persons with disabilities in development.
