CDAH stands for Community Disability Alliance Hunter. CDAH is run for and by people with a disability with the support of their families and allies.
We aim to assist people to live the lives they choose. We are guided by our vision of an inclusive and just society where people with disability have voice, choice and control.
CDAH tries to increase the knowledge, skills and capacity of people with disability and their families through information, advice, mentoring, peer support, training and development.
“We are an independent, collective voice committed to full inclusion and active citizenship. We are the first user-led organisation established to prepare people for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and we are forging new directions!” - Cath Mahony, CDAH Peer Worker
At CDAH, we believe in the power of peer support. Our trained Peer Mentors have lived experience of disability and will work with you one-to-one to achieve the life you want to live. CDAH Peer Mentors have many different skills, passions and life experiences to help you grow and develop within your home and community.
There are more than forty CDAH Peer Mentors. They have many different skills, passions and life experiences and provide one-to-one peer support and guidance to people with disability and their family members. Learn more.
Our member numbers are growing every day. Becoming a member of CDAH is a great way to support us and to become part of the movement. Learn more.
CDAH organises a range of exciting events to continue building the peer work movement in the Hunter. Our events include: Planning Cafe, Catch Up Crew and Speak Up Hunter. Learn more.
This Is My World is a hip hop film-clip with a difference. Made by ‘Speak Up Hunter’, a peer support group run for and by people with intellectual disability, the clip is about our vision for our future. It's about knowing we are important. And it's about being part of ‘My World’!
