    Our advocacy

    QDN is a strong network of people with disability who work to make sure there is nothing about us without us.

    As a Systemic Advocacy organisation QDN undertakes a range of strategic activities to influence and bring about change on key issues that are important to people with disability.

    QDN engages with members and allies to inform our positions across the key areas that are important to people with disability. QDN also provides submissions, representation and feedback to a range of Local, State and Commonwealth Government policy initiatives through active engagement with members.
