2013 Nomination Guidelines
PREAMBLE
In July 2008 the Australian Government ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the Convention). The Convention aims to: promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity. All tiers of Australian government now have an obligation to act in accordance with the rights provided for in the Convention. The Convention aims to enhance opportunities for people with disability to participate in all aspects of social and political life, including access to employment, education, health care, information, justice, public transport and the built environment. A change in community attitudes is required that promotes dignity and human rights, and supports participation in all aspects of community life to achieve lasting social change and to improve outcomes for people with disability. On 13 February 2011, the Council of Australian Governments endorsed the National Disability Strategy 20102020 The National Disability Strategy outlines a ten year national policy framework to drive improvement across mainstream policies, programs, services and infrastructure as well as the specialist disability services system, so that people with disability can participate as equal citizens. The National Disability Strategy will help ensure that the principles underpinning the Convention are incorporated into policies and programs to improve access and outcomes for people with disability, their families and carers.

'The Strategy provides a shared agenda to help achieve the vision of an inclusive Australian society that enables people with disability to achieve their full potential as citizens' National Disability Strategy 2010-2020
The Australian Government hosts the annual National Disability Awards in the lead up to the International Day of People with Disability on 3 December each year. Celebrating the International Day of People with Disability and the National Disability Awards provide an opportunity to ensure that the achievements and needs of people with disability, their families and carers remain visible. The National Disability Awards recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals, teams and organisations that have improved the lives of people with disability. Further information about the National Disability Strategy can be found at: http://www.fahcsia.gov.au

National Disability Awards

Aim of the National Disability Awards
International Day of People with Disability is a United Nations sanctioned day that occurs annually on 3 December. The day celebrates and recognises the achievements, contributions and abilities of people with disability. The day also provides an important opportunity to raise awareness about disability issues more broadly across the community and, ultimately, to support the development of an inclusive Australian society. The National Disability Awards (the Awards) are also held each year as part of the International Day of People with Disability celebrations. The Awards aim to honour and recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals, teams and organisations that have improved the lives of people with disability and thereby contributing to increased recognition of equality and human rights for all Australians. The Yooralla Media Award of Distinction is an integral part of the Awards ceremony, with the nomination process for this Award category undertaken separately by Yooralla, and presented at the Awards ceremony. Yooralla is one of Australias largest and most proactive organisations working to support people with disability to live independent and fulfilling lives. Further information can be found at the Yooralla website: http://www.yoorallamediaawards.com.au The National Disability Strategy has many ideas for improving different parts of life for people with disability, including: 1. Taking part in the community 2. Rights for fair treatment 3. Work, money and housing 4. Getting support 5. Learning and skills 6. Health and wellbeing The Award categories are aligned with these key policy areas of the National Disability Strategy and celebrate and acknowledge people, teams and organisations who demonstrate excellence, passion, vision and a commitment to assisting people with disability to achieve their goals.
