What We Do

"A society where everyone, regardless of background or disability, feels welcome, included and supported"

At MDAA Inc. we provide a range of advocacy services and projects for people from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) with disability, their families/carers, and service providers in NSW.

What We Do

• Advocacy Development - offers community information days, training and information sessions for people from a NESB with disability and their families and carers.
• Community Voices - uses the skills and expertise of people from a NESB with disability and family members trained to educate and raise awareness about the diversity of the community.
• Individual Advocacy - assists people to stand up for their rights, for example, when people have problems with housing, immigration, school, work and disability services.
• Industry Development - assists disability services across NSW to become more culturally competent and assists ethnic community services to understand and respond better to people with disability.
• Systemic Advocacy - works towards positive change in policies, procedures, practices and service delivery in government and non-government agencies.
