Disability & Inclusion

We undertake research that:

identifies community priorities for disability-focused research
improves access to and quality of early intervention services for children with developmental differences
reduces the risk of co-occurring mental and physical health conditions for people with disabilities
enhances wellbeing and quality of life for people with disabilities and their carers
reduces disability-related stigma in health, education, work and community settings
enhances social, occupational, and community participation.

Our researchers answer questions that are important to people with disabilities and their carers.

We do this as we want our research to make a difference to the lives of people most affected by disabilities.

Our researchers work closely with:

People with disabilities and their families
Organisations that provide therapeutic and inclusion-focused services (e.g. housing, vocation, social and community participation services) for people with disabilities
The disability workforce
Early education, primary, secondary and tertiary education providers
Workplaces and employers
Healthcare professionals and government stakeholders
People with a previous lived experience
