Board members having a meeting in a boardroom.

Our Team

At PWdWA our staff and Board are people with disability or have lived experience of disability. This deliberate choice reflects our belief in the importance of representation and ensures that the perspectives, needs, and aspirations of individuals with disabilities are at the forefront of everything we do. Having staff and Board members with lived experience of disability enables us to better connect with and empathise with challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, as well as to celebrate their strengths, resilience, and contributions to society.
