2014 National Disability Awards nominations now open

The National Disability Awards recognise people across a wide range of sectors who are working to provide opportunities for economic and social participation for people with disability.

Nominations for the eighth annual Awards opened on 3rd June and close on 18th July 2014.

The Awards are one of the ways people can encourage support for people with disability and increase awareness of the benefits of extending more opportunities for people with disability to be included in work and society.

This year there are eight Award categories, each highlighting an area where champions of people with disability are making a difference.

The 2014 National Disability Awards will be presented at Parliament House in Canberra on Tuesday 25 November 2014.
