To unify, support and champion a thriving disability ecosystem

Disability Assembly WA

DAWA is an independent, lived experience, whole of disability led movement with a clear vision to unify, support and champion Western Australia’s -disability ecosystem so people with disability and their families and carers experience world class outcome.

At the heart of our work is the DAWA Spirit. From lived experience DAWA is a safe and welcoming place of belonging. We reflect this in our willingness to speak up and contribute; to collaborate and be supportive and to be courageous and bold. We create excitement and challenge the norms and traditional views on disability. We highlight and showcase the strength in diversity.

We get things done!
