Welcome to Community Disability Alliance Hunter
We are a community passionate about the true inclusion of people with disability. A disabled people’s organisation (DPO), CDAH is run by and for people with disability. We empower people with disability to foster genuine connections, form support networks, build knowledge and skills and find belonging in the community.
Join us as we grow a community that represents the interests of all people with disability in the Newcastle and Hunter region.
People with disability are our peers
Our peers are from diverse backgrounds, all working together to achieve greater equality, equity and inclusion for the disability community.
We call this the peer movement.
Experts through Lived Experience
CDAH empowers people with disability through peer support by bringing people together to share experiences, learn from each other, and build lasting relationships.
Peer support is at the heart of everything we do. By connecting with others who have lived experience of disability, peers find understanding, empathy, and a true sense of belonging.
At CDAH, you are not alone. You are part of a vibrant community where peers walk alongside you, building knowledge, skills, and confidence.
Celebrating 10 years of CDAH

“Peer support is so important because it just opens up your mind to the possibilities that are right there in front of you. It’s life changing. It’s completely life changing.”
