I just submitted an application to the WHO Disability Health Equity Network on behalf of Charles Sturt University and the Children's Voices Centre with the approval and assistance from DVCR Neena Mitter, PVCI Michael Friend, Jason White, Annette Harris (Research Office) and A/Prof Tamara Cumming.
Here is the invitation from WHO to submit the application:
The WHO Disability Programme is pleased to announce the launch of the first call for membership applications to join the WHO Disability Health Equity Network https://www.who.int/initiatives/disability-health-equity-initiative/network, a global Network of stakeholders working together to advance health equity for persons with disabilities.We have submitted to workstreams 1 and 4.
I’m reaching out to you as a valued academic partner with established research leadership in the field. As part of our efforts to build a strong WHO Disability Health Equity Network, I wanted to personally ensure you were aware of this opportunity to apply for membership.
Kindly note that you would be eligible to apply as a research centre, lab, or department (= Children’s Voices Centre).

• Purpose and role of the Network
• Terms of Reference of the Network
• Member profiles, roles and benefits
