About the organisation
People with Disability Australia (PWDA) is a national disability rights organisation. Its membership is made up of people with disability and organisations primarily constituted by people with disability. PWDA was founded in 1981, the International Year of Disabled Persons, to provide people with disability with a voice of our own. PWDA has a cross disability focus – we represent the interests of people with all kinds of disability. PWDA is a non-profit, non-government organisation. We employ over 50 staff with 25% working in regional areas.
About the role
People with Disability Australia (PWDA) are looking to build our team across NSW and QLD to deliver training on disability awareness and the rights of people with disability. This training is delivered to people with disability, service providers, not for profit and government organisations, and the wider community.
As a disability rights, advocacy and representative organisation, PWDA provides professional education and flexible training packages tailor-made to meet the needs of organisations across a wide range of disability and mainstream areas. We deliver rights based education programs, which work towards our vision of a socially just, accessible and inclusive community.
Our training packages are developed by people with disability and therefore bring a unique perspective. As a result of this, PWDA training is in demand and as such we are looking to build a pool of passionate Trainers in 2020. Many of our Trainers are people with disability, and people with disability are very strongly encouraged to apply for these positions. Training and mentoring will be provided to successful applicants.
