AFDO was funded by FaHCSIA to undertake a project looking at the Impact of Ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disability in Australia. AFDO auspiced People With Disability Australia (PWD) to conduct consultations and prepare a report, which has now been submitted to FaHCSIA. The report highlights some key issues around Indigenous Australians with Disabilities and highlights the proposed benefits for Australia to quickly ratify the Convention.
On behalf of the Board, the staff and the members of AFDO, we would like to congratulate the PWD Australia Team and staff at the Disability Studies & Research Institute for the exceptional work on the recent UN Convention project - "Impact of Ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities".
