D-Connect

D-Connect is the belief that community connection matters. When people with disability have safe spaces to share experiences, learn from each other, and build friendships, it strengthens individual confidence and creates lasting impact across our communities.

D-Connect & D-Connect Local – Building Stronger Communities Through Peer Support

D-Connect and D-Connect Local are part of an exciting initiative funded by the NDIS Peer Support Program, designed to create inclusive, welcoming spaces for people with disability to come together, connect, and support each other.

At the heart of D-Connect is the belief that community connection matters. When people with disability have safe spaces to share experiences, learn from each other, and build friendships, it strengthens individual confidence and creates lasting impact across our communities.

Through D-Connect Local, we’re holding regular in-person meetups in towns across the Southwest. These gatherings are about more than just a cup of tea – they’re about creating networks of support, sharing stories, and working together to make our communities more inclusive and responsive to the needs of people with disability.

For those who prefer or need an online space, D-Connect Online is available 24/7. You can join our group and connect with others from across the region here:

This project recognises the power of peer support, where people support others with shared experiences. Wand welcoming spaces for people with disabilities to come together, connect, and support one another, whether it’s exchanging tips, navigating the NDIS, or simply knowing you're not alone, peer connection is a vital part of thriving and feeling empowered.
