Advocacy

DALA aims to drive positive change for greater inclusion in the legal profession in Australia by being a leading voice for issues affecting disabled legal professionals.  Where there are opportunities, DALA takes initiative to advocate for and bring awareness in relation to issues impacting disabled legal professionals through increased collaboration with organisations and sector partners.  DALA advocates for and provides its unique lived experience perspective on initiatives that can drive systemic reform, such as consultations in relation to changes in legislation or workplace polices.

With every step, DALA is working towards its goal of challenging traditional ableist attitudes that have been barriers to success and promoting participation and advancement of disabled legal professionals.
