The new National Disability Advocacy Framework 2023-2025 (NDAF) and its associated Disability Advocacy Work Plan (Work Plan) are now online at dss.gov.au/nationaldisabilityadvocacyframework.

The NDAF is a high‑level and principles based framework which commits the Australian, state and territory governments to collectively work towards improved national consistency and access to advocacy services for people with disability.

The Work Plan identifies shared priority work areas for the Australian, state and territory governments, to work on together to support the outcomes in the NDAF.

The NDAF was developed in consultation with people with disability, families and carers, disability advocacy providers, disability representative organisations and peak bodies, to support the implementation of Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031 (the Strategy). The NDAF Consultation Summary Report and consultation submissions are also available online on DSS Engage website at National Disability Advocacy Framework 2022-2025 | engage.dss.gov.au.
