Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA) is the national representative body for a network of advocacy organisations throughout Australia. Our vision is of a nation that includes and values people with disabilities and respects human rights for all. 

DANA is a membership organisation, its members being independent advocacy organisations who have objectives, purposes, and a mission consistent with DANA. Our purpose is to strengthen, support and provide a collective voice for independent disability advocacy organisations across Australia that advocates for and with people with disability. 

We achieve this by:

• promoting the role and value of independent disability advocacy 
• providing a collective voice for our members 
• providing communication and information sharing between disability advocacy organisations 
• providing support and development for members, staff and volunteers of disability advocacy organisations 
• building the evidence base to demonstrate the value of disability advocacy 
• promoting the human rights, needs, value and diversity of people with disabilities.
