The Physical Disability Council of NSW is the Peak body for people with physical disability in NSW.
Our purpose is to build empowered, inclusive communities through informationand education; engagement and participation and by developing individual capacity and resilience.
We advocate at a systemic level for inclusive change to policies, laws, infrastructure and systems to ensure people with physical disability are equal members of their community.
We currently have peer support groups, provide education and training, and can assist people with one on one support and mentoring to help them understand and navigate the NDIS, achieve personal goals, work through an issue to find a solution.
