Community Connections

Griffith University, Queenslanders with Disability Network (QDN) and the Queensland Government are launching a new initiative, The Voice of Queenslanders with Disability. Queensland's Disability Plan 2022-2027: Together, a better Queensland, will help to achieve Australia's Disability Strategy across the state, in a way that recognises Queensland's unique peoples, regions and diversity.

Queensland's Disability Plan has seven outcome areas:

The Voice of Queenslanders with Disability Survey will find out how these areas are changing over time. The new Voice of Queenslanders with Disability annual report will provide an in-depth understanding of people's experiences, successes and challenges in alignment with Queensland's Disability Plan. Starting on 31 January 2023, there will be a number of different ways for you to share your stories and have your say, including online questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups.

Who can share their stories? 

• People with disability
• Families and carers of people with disability
• Disability service providers
• Peak and advocacy organisations relating to disability

For more information, and to register to share your story in 2023, visit the Voice of Queenslanders with Disability website.
