Background information
In 2022, the Queensland Government engaged QDN to bring together a diverse range of stakeholders to co-design priorities and actions to inform a new state-wide disability housing action plan, Partnering for inclusive housing.
A strong message underpinning Partnering for inclusive housing is that people with lived experience of disability have a voice in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of matters that impact their homes and lives.
A key outcome of the co-design process was to establish the expert panel as part of Partnering for inclusive housing. The expert panel will be chaired and led by people with lived experience of disability, including First Nations peoples with disability.
By applying co-design principles, the expert panel will advise the Queensland Government on the implementation of Partnering for inclusive housing and how best to respond to complex and changing reform agendas that relate to housing for people with disability.
Successful candidates will demonstrate extensive experience in their field, an ability to meaningfully contribute to innovative public policy discussions and ensure effective partnership with the DHLGPPW.
The expert panel will meet quarterly, with two meetings held online and two meetings in-person per year for the duration of Partnering for inclusive housing strategy implementation.
Remuneration for meeting preparation and attendance, out of session activities, travel and accommodation will be available to panel members.
*The original closing date was 23 August which was extended to 6 September 2024.
