Our Vision

The Disability Assembly Western Australia (DAWA)’s vision is to unify, support and champion a thriving disability ecosystem in WA to ensure world leading and sustainable outcomes for people with disabilities, their families and carers.

A major part of our purpose is bringing together people with disability, families, carers, peak bodies, advocates, providers and experienced stakeholders from diverse backgrounds to generate informed, impartial discussion and debate on the big issues. DAWA is a local community of local people who know disability. We are a team of diverse perspectives and innovative thinking. Imagine being supported by more than 400 advocates reflecting the diversity of our State. DAWA is a safe place for meeting and sharing knowledge and expertise to gather data and opinion and to work together to contribute real life experience with local ownership and respect.

DAWA supports, and is supported by, the McCusker Centre for Citizenship , University of Western Australia, and offers internships across the University semesters. LAVAN legal provide pro bono Legal advice.
