About NEDA

The National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA) is a national Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO) committed to promoting the rights, interests, and well-being of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) people with disability in Australia. As a peak body, NEDA works to ensure that people with disability from CALD backgrounds have equitable access to services, support, and opportunities. Through collaborative initiatives, policy advocacy, and community engagement, NEDA strives to eliminate barriers, challenge discrimination, and safeguard the rights of people with disability from CALD backgrounds to fully participate in society. With a strong focus on inclusion, intersectionality and social justice, NEDA plays an important role in driving systemic change and fostering a greater understanding of diversity and inclusion within both the disability and multicultural sectors.

NEDA has a small secretariat and is governed by a council of state/ territory and community representatives; as a DPO, the majority of our Councillors are required to be people with disability from CALD backgrounds.

NEDA recognises the rich diversity of people across Australia and is committed to ensuring that its team is reflective of the diverse community it serves and to supporting a culture of equity, inclusion, and diversity. People with disability, First Nations people and people from CALD backgrounds are actively encouraged to apply.
