Who we are

Enabled Youth Disability Network (EYDN) is an organisation run by and for young people with disability between 18-30 years in South Australia.

EYDN is dedicated to amplifying the voices and aspirations of young persons with disability through systemic advocacy, co-designing and facilitating peer networks and capacity building activities, in partnership with Purple Orange. EYDN is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

Our monthly peer network meetings provide opportunities to create community, develop self-advocacy skills and build confidence and knowledge in areas such as education, employment, independent living skills and human rights. 

EYDN’s work is overseen by a board of young people with disability aged between 18-30.

What we do


EYDN run peer group meetings each month in Adelaide and Barossa, SA for members to connect with each other, share information, and get involved in their local community.  

Meetings are free and open to young people with disability aged 18-30 and are facilitated by Peer Connectors who are strong leaders in the youth disability community.

How We Operate

We are committed to listening and learning from people with disability, which is why all of our programming and events are co-designed and run by our young members. 

This allows our members to:

  • Have better access to information they need and care about
  • Build deeper connections with supportive peers
  • Take action on issues they care about, in support of access, choice and inclusion
  • Hold leadership and valued roles in their communities

 

Recognition of Disability Community

We recognise that JFA Purple Orange exists to advance the rights of people with disability.

All our work aims to create a more inclusive world where people with disability have access to the same opportunities as everyone else.

 

 

Acknowledgement of Country

JFA Purple Orange acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia. We work on many Aboriginal lands, including Kaurna Country, where our head office is located. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal peoples on the lands where we work, live, and learn. We are committed to walking together and building relationships grounded in the self-determination of First Nations peoples.
