Almost 2 million Australian women are living with a disability.

Over half of Australia's 2.6 million carers are women.

The resources provided through the Women and Disabilities section of InfoHub offer information for women with a disability, and for their friends, family and carers.

These resources provided will help you to:

• find out about and access peak bodies and reports

• learn about independent living options and aids and equipment that can help

• determine what transport options are available and how to access them

• find out where to go or who to speak to if you or someone you love is experiencing domestic/family violence

• access legal information

• find out about accessible travel and recreation opportunities

• learn about disability advocacy and policies and how you can get involved through activism

• determine what housing and accommodation options are available.

Information targetting certain groups is also provided, including information for:

• culturally and linguistically diverse women

• parents of children with a disability

• young women.

All the Women and Disability links have been reviewed and selected by our expert women’s network to ensure each link is reliable, reputable and relevant to Victorian women. Find out more about the Women and Disabilities experts.
