Today is International Day of People with a Disability.

IDPwD is a United Nations (UN) day observed internationally. It aims to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.

Each year the UN announces a theme to observe for International Day of People with Disability. The annual theme provides an overarching focus on how society can strive for inclusivity through the removal of physical, technological and attitudinal barriers for people with disability.

The theme in 2025 is
“Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress”

In Australia, IDPwD is a joint effort between government, schools, organisations, community groups, businesses and individuals.

IDPwD is an opportunity to be part of creating an inclusive and diverse community for the 5.5 million people with disability in Australia.

LEST WE FORGET ❤️

Today is Remembrance Day. A day to honour the courage, service, and sacrifice of all Australians who have served, and continue to serve.

For many veterans and their families, today carries significant emotional weight. It may stir grief or quiet reflection. If you know someone who is feeling heavy or distressed, reach out. A gentle check-in can mean the world 💛

If today brings up difficult emotions for you or someone close to you, we encourage you to reach out to Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling for free and confidential support. The line is available 24/7 on 1800 011 046. Other support services can be found at ruok.org.au/findhelp
