The NCDA Team
The National Centre for Disability Advocacy (NCDA) is a service delivered by Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA), and therefore our staff are also members of the DANA team.
To find out more about the full DANA team, visit the Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA) website.
The NCDA staff are a small team who are committed to building the capacity of the disability advocacy sector alongside individual advocates.
Each member of the team has lived-experience of disability, together with the professional standards for providing support and resources to disability advocates around Australia.
