International Day of people with Disabilities is an important reminder that inclusion, access, and respect are everyday commitments—not just words. Today, Dundaloo celebrates the strength, talent, and contributions of people with disability in the Manning Valley, Great Lakes, and Gloucester communities.

As a proud NDIS provider for over 70 years, Dundaloo is dedicated to empowering people with disability to live fulfilling, independent lives and to participate fully in community life. Every day, participants, families, staff, and partners work together to build “one community for all abilities” where everyone is valued and supported to achieve their goals.

Today, and every day, Dundaloo stands alongside people with disability in championing rights, breaking down barriers, and creating a more inclusive future for all.
