Federal Budget 2024-2025 – Submission to Treasury

The vision of the Australian Disability and Development Consortium (ADDC) is that the voices and rights of people with disabilities are elevated, reflected in, and inform all international development policies and programs of Australian agencies. In pursuit of this vision, we welcome the opportunity to provide input drawn from the experience and expertise of our membership for the 2024-25 Federal Budget.

This submission provides budgetary analysis and guidance to elevate disability equity and rights as a core area of action of Australia’s international development program; a commitment stipulated in Australia’s current International Development Policy. To meet this commitment, ADDC recommends resources in the forthcoming Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget for 2024-25 and beyond are allocated to disability equity and rights initiatives, both to disability-specific initiatives as well as ensuring disability equity is a key objective and modality within broad programs.

Our submission can be found in accessible Word and PDF versions.
