    Queenslanders with Disability Network (QDN) is a state-wide organisation of, by, and for people with diverse disability.

    All our work is focused on
    disability rights and advocacy.

    QDN is a not-for-profit organisation

    We are a vibrant, active network of influencers, decision-makers, spokespeople, consultants, group members and peer leaders with a drive to make change happen. We also work on projects that align with our vision and mission around important issues in the lives of people with disability.

    We believe it’s important to work together with communities, services, business, industry and government to lead and influence change.
