FREE CONCERT TO MARK INTERNATIONAL DAY OF DISABILITY
A free concert featuring some of Australia’s top artists, with and without disability, will be held live in Sydney to mark International Day of People with Disability.
An event that promises to be a beacon of unity, acceptance and diversity, Elevate the Stage will be a spectacular showcase of talent on the international day, which is a United Nations initiative observed since 1992.

Event ambassador and actress Paula Duncan says Elevate the Stage is not about dwelling on the challenges of living with disability; it’s about breaking down barriers for people with disability and encouraging more inclusive attitudes and behaviours among all Australians.
“Elevate the Stage is a fantastic opportunity for performers with disability to showcase their talents along with fellow professionals," she said.
"It’s a chance for all of us to celebrate achievement and hard work through performance and importantly, in front of new audiences.”
