WHAT ARE THE ACTIVITIES OF APIDS

We act as a broker between organisations and individuals in Australia who wish to support people with disabilities and disabled peoples’ organisations in the Pacific

We facilitate voluntary work by Australian professionals to assist with the expertise required by relevant organisations in the Pacific Islands.

We raise funds from Australian and international public, private and government sources

We advocate to the Australian government to raise the priority of funding for disability organizations in the Pacific Islands

We respond where possible to other opportunities to support people with disabilities and disabled peoples’ organisations in the Pacific
