Multicultural Disability Advocacy Australia

MDAA is the NSW peak advocacy organisation for multicultural people with disability. We provide culturally safe, independent advocacy to help people understand their rights, resolve problems, and navigate complex systems.

Since 1995, we have worked with people with disability, families, and carers across NSW to improve access to services, strengthen inclusion, and support better outcomes.

We support communities across metro, regional, and remote areas and work to improve systems so people are treated fairly and with respect.

Our Vision

“To permanently anchor inclusion and nurture strength in diversity.”

Our Mission

“To explore inclusive pathways and exchange informed ideas that honour and embrace the unique experiences shaped by diversity.”

Real outcomes

Noodle the MDAA chicken 🐔

Noodle had escaped from a place that was not kind. For nights it wandered through backstreets and quiet parks, hiding under trees and listening to the sounds of the city.

One evening, after a long journey, Noodle arrived at MDAA. Tired and hungry, it quietly asked for help. The team welcomed Noodle, recognising its courage.

With care and support, a safe place was found. Noodle’s story is a simple reminder of what advocacy is about — safety, dignity, and the chance to move forward.
