International Day of People with Disability aims to raise awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with a disability.
At the last Census (2016) 4.3 percent of the population in the Camden Local Government Area reported needing assistance in their day-to-day lives due to disability; this compared with 4.9 percent for the Sydney Statistical Division (ABS 2016).
Council has developed a Disability Inclusion Action Plan which outlines its priorities for improving services and facilities for people with a disability across the area.
