About us

Since 1994 the NSW Disability Discrimination Legal Centre (DDLC) has worked towards a world where people with disabilities are able to participate in all aspects of life.

We promote and protect the human and legal rights of people with disability and their supporters through legal advocacy. We do this by providing free legal advice and representing people with disability discrimination cases.

Through our work we proactively aim to remove barriers, eliminate discrimination, empower people with disability, promote the rights of and increase the awareness of issues faced by people with disability.
