The National Youth Disability Summit is a youth-led conference for young people with disability (ages 12 – 25) to give us a real say about our futures! 

The Summit is hosted by Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) and co-designed by CYDA’s Youth Council of 12 young people with disability from around Australia.

Participants in the Summit will have the opportunity to:

• hear from keynote speakers (TBA)

• participate in roundtables, consultations and networking sessions

• share our lived experiences as young people with disability

• form a strong, connected and engaged community

• learn about advocating for ourselves and our wider community

The Summit has a strong focus on intersectionality. ‘Intersectionality’ is about the ways that different parts of people’s identities, and the discrimination that they experience, can overlap. At the Summit, we aim give a platform to diverse voices within the disability community.
