The mission of the AFDO is to champion the rights of people with disability in Australia, and help them participate fully in Australian life.

Our current priority areas are income support and employment, access to the built environment and the development of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disability

We may be able to refer disabled persons to wheelchair accessible housing or transportation or other services in our city.

We have traineeships or volunteer positions that people with disabilities are welcome to apply for.

Our traineeships or volunteer positions are open to applicants from abroad.
