YDAN was established in late 2015 with the hopes of providing a forgotten, ignored and under-represented demographic of the disability sector in WA with an opportunity to be included and consulted.YDAN aims to encourage young people with a disability in Western Australia to feel that their opinions are not only important but wanted and will be listened to when policies are being developed that target they're demographic.Its Executive Committee endeavours to have representatives from all types of disability, as well as various ages and demographics of young people – there is strength in diversity.The Executive Committee networks with other peak and sector organisations to ensure a voice for youth is always present in deliberations and decision-making.YDAN always seeks opportunities to advance the interests of its members, through systemic advocacy and social events, and to create opportunities to deliver knowledge and skill development, through a variety of presentations, workshops, events and services that ultimately benefit the overall community.
