Australia Pacific Islands Disability Support Appeal

Australia Pacific Islands Disability Support (APIDS) is a small voluntary NGO established in 2005 to provide support for Pacific Disabled People Organisations (DPOs). APIDS works collaboratively with its partners in several ways - sharing information, supporting them when they seek assistance to apply for funds or undertake various organisational or development activities and providing them with funds for their core activities. Each DPO operates in a different context and has their own priorities, so we respond to these however we can. Our board members visit the Pacific region quite often so we have regular contact with some of our partners.

APIDS has 17 partner DPOs:

• Fiji Disabled Peoples Association
• Te Toa Matoa (Kiribati)
• PNG National Assembly Of Disabled Persons
• Nuanua O Le Alofa Inc (Samoa)
• Disabled Peoples Association of Solomon Islands
• Kra'as Hadomi Timor Oan (Timor Leste)
• Naunau 'o e Alamaite Tonga Association
• Disability Promotion & Advocacy Association (Vanuatu)

• Pohnpei Consumers Organization (FSM)
• OMEKESANG (Palau)
• Psychiatric Survivors Association (Fiji)

• Fiji Association of the Deaf

We are currently in negotiations with La Collectif handicap dans Nuvelle Caledonie (New Caledonia).
