About the NDRP

The National Disability Research Partnership (NDRP) facilitates collaborative and inclusive disability research, so we have better policy and practice for people with disability in Australia.

It does this by:

funding research done by and with people with disability
implementing the NDRP research agenda
strengthening disability research capacity
making findings accessible to the disability community and policy and decision makers.

The NDRP is guided by the NDRP principles which have been developed with people with disability and key stakeholders.

Establishing the NDRP

In July 2020 a 2-year establishment phase started. During this phase, a Working Party was put together to help set up the NDRP. This included processes and structures to help the NDRP work effectively.

We asked the disability community to give feedback and advice during this phase.

Our Learnings and Recommendations report sets out the recommendations from the Establishment phase. They are based on feedback from people with disability and a range of other stakeholders.

In December 2021, the Australian Government announced funding of $12.5 million to fully establish the National Disability Research Partnership (NDRP) over 2022-23 to 2024-25.

In 2024, the NDRP became an independent organisation. Find out more about the NDRP team here.
