ABOUT

The National Disability Research Partnership (NDRP) brings together experts in disability policy and research to deliver a world-class disability research and policy hub. The NDRP will facilitate a collaborative, translational research program through deep engagement between academics, people with disability, peak advocacy and consumer groups, governments and service providers to conduct cutting-edge applied research to guide Australia’s commitments to enable people with disability to be full citizens.

The Partnership will be inclusive and will ensure that top researchers, who are committed to the rights and purposes of people with disability, work collaboratively with the disability community, government, advocacy bodies, the disability service sector, philanthropy and industry. The NDRP aims to build capacity and conduct high quality research to provide evidence that can be applied to solve pressing and emerging disability policy and practice challenges informed by human rights approaches and other relevant frameworks.
