Disability Rights and Culture works with the disability community to advance justice, dignity and pride across Victoria.

We are a disability-led organisation for all disabled people. Our work is about fighting to change systems, upholding people’s rights and making space for disability communities that are connected, strong and united across difference.

Campaigns and Systemic Advocacy

We organise and support campaigns and collective action that confront injustice and change the systems that hold disabled people back. 

Individual Advocacy

We stand with disabled people to take control, have their voices heard and ensure their rights are upheld. 

Pride and Culture

We celebrate disability pride and create disability culture together through art, workshops, awards and celebrations. 

Belong

Belong is our disability community.  We create spaces for disabled people to connect, share experiences and build collective strength.  

Led by disabled people. For all disabled people.

Formerly Disability Resources Centre, we work with other Disabled People’s Organisations to promote and protect disability rights across Victoria.
