Physical Disability Australia (PDA) will be hosting the fourth Physical Disability Awareness Day on February 1.
Established by PDA in 2023 after seeing a gap in the awareness calendar for highlighting physical disabilities, this very special day brings attention to people living with physical disability, their contributions and the many conditions that fall under the physical disability umbrella.
The day also provides a wonderful opportunity for people to come together and be united in their support for Australia’s physical disability community.
PDA‘s Ambassador, Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM shared his commitment to raise the profile of the event. “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 is one way to tell stories, to bring awareness to the world, to create unity and inclusion.”
Our online DisabiliTEA event will once again be held, this time with a fun disability themed Bingo session (with some fantastic prizes) and some amazing guest speakers who will share their stories.

This year’s theme is “Creative Possibilities” (#CreativePossibilities) and will allow us to 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 – including generation of new, original and valuable ideas or solutions to find adaptable ways and thinking to solve problems or express themselves.
