Disability-led training that builds confidence, capability and inclusion
AFDO delivers high quality, rights-based training designed and facilitated by people with disability. Our programs support organisations to strengthen inclusive leadership, improve accessible communication and embed disability inclusion across policy and practice.
We work with government agencies, peak bodies, professional associations, employers, service providers and community organisations across Australia. Our training is grounded in lived experience and aligned with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Our sessions are interactive, practical and tailored. Whether working with advocacy organisations such as VALiD through custom designed in-person programs, supporting professional bodies such as Dietitians Australia to strengthen accessible communications, or delivering financial literacy training for NDIS self-managers, our focus is always on building confidence and capability that leads to measurable change.
Participants leave with:
- Increased confidence engaging with people with disability
- A stronger understanding of inclusive communication principles
- Practical strategies for workplace accessibility and reasonable adjustments
- Clear insight into systemic barriers and how to address them
- Tools to embed inclusion into everyday work
Training can be delivered in person or online. We offer short sessions, half day workshops and extended programs, and can tailor content to suit leadership teams, frontline staff, communications professionals or board members.
Online Modules
We also invite you to explore our online self-paced modules, including Disability 101, A+ Accessibility: Building Inclusive Practice, and Workforce+.
Developed by people with disability, these courses build practical capability across workforce inclusion, accessible practice and foundational disability knowledge. Grounded in Australian legislation, current workforce data and rights-based frameworks, each module translates policy and compliance obligations into clear, everyday action.
Whether you are strengthening inclusive recruitment, embedding accessibility into systems and environments, or building disability confidence across your organisation, our online learning provides flexible, evidence-based training that supports real and lasting change.
