About

We want to create and foster safe and socially just futures, where people with disability have access, are included and their diversity valued in all facets of social, political, and economic life.

Our mission is to produce high-quality research, and undertake teaching, engagement and service activities that influence government policy, inform the development of services, and supports for people with disability, and shape community attitudes.

We are committed to centering the voices, experiences and expertise of people with disability across the life and activities of the Initiative. This includes creating opportunities for and fostering the development of people with disability within and beyond the University of Melbourne.
