What Drives Us

At MDAA, our vision and mission are the foundation of everything we do. We envision a community where the diversity of disability and culture is anticipated, supported, and celebrated. This vision drives us to advocate fiercely for the rights of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) people with disability, ensuring they have the resources, opportunities, and respect they deserve.

Our mission to promote, protect, and secure these rights is at the heart of every program, initiative, and partnership we undertake. Through individual and systemic advocacy, we empower individuals and challenge barriers, striving to create a more inclusive and equitable society.
