The Centre for Disability Research and Policy (CDRP) aims to reduce the disadvantage that occurs for people with disability. Our research works to improve the social and economic participation, health and wellbeing of people with disability.

The centre collaborates with a large number of local and international organisations, agencies, governments and service providers to enhance the wellbeing of people with disability. We actively partner with people with lived experiences of disability in order to do that.

We aim to provide a strong voice in debates of national importance including the development of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the National Disability Strategy and the Disability Royal Commission. This voice is underpinned by outstanding scholarship led by our stream leaders.
