National Sorry Day – 26 May
National Sorry Day is a time to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations survivors, their families, and communities — and to recognise the ongoing journey toward healing. For First Peoples with disability, National Sorry Day is also an important reminder of the intersection between cultural identity, trauma, and disability. It’s a time to come together to promote healing, wellbeing, and inclusion for all.
International Day of People with Disability – 3 December
The International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) celebrates the achievements, contributions, and strengths of people with disability. For First Nations people with disability, it’s also a chance to highlight our unique experiences, voices, and leadership in shaping inclusive futures.
