EVIDENCE TO ACTION

About Evidence to Action

The NDRP’s Evidence to Action program curates inclusive events to bring together the disability community, Disability Representative Organisations, Disabled Persons Organisations, researchers, service providers and policy makers including government. The events will explore evidence, identify research and evidence gaps, build connections and discuss barriers to applying evidence.

The program is led by Sue Tape, Head of Evidence to Action.

“My role is all about connecting with people to understand what insights are needed, and collaborating with others to make sure the evidence we gather drives meaningful changes in policies and practices,” she says.

“Ultimately, I’m focused on making research by and with people with disability truly count—so it leads to real improvements in their lives.”
