Leadership Team
At the Multicultural Disability Advocacy Association, we believe that ethical, transparent, and trustworthy leadership is essential for fostering an inclusive and empowering environment for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Persons with Disability and culturally and racially marginalised (CARM). Our leaders prioritise open communication and accountability, inspiring our team and the communities we serve to act with integrity and respect.
By embracing ethical decision-making, we build trust within our organisation and with our stakeholders, creating strong partnerships that drive positive change. Our commitment to transparency ensures that our actions align with our values, enhancing collaboration and innovation.
We are dedicated to cultivating resilient organisations that thrive on mutual respect and shared goals. Together, we can champion the rights of CALD PWD and create a more inclusive society for all.
