Australian Government – Support for parents and caregivers of children with disability
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) protects Australians from discrimination based on disability. The DDA makes it unlawful to discriminate on the ground of the person’s disability. This includes discrimination that occurs in the context of accessing and participating in children’s education and care services. All children’s education and care services (including family day care) must comply with the DDA.
