A legacy of a more accessible and inclusive Queensland for all.
QDN is working with major stakeholders and others in the community to shape and influence the Brisbane 2032 Games to be a world-leading example of accessibility and inclusion.
QDN recently hosted an online forum reflecting on the lessons learned from the Paris Games. The forum provided essential insights into how we can maximise opportunities for Brisbane in 2032. Click below to read a summary of the forum discussions.
QDN's expert panel explored what we learned from Paris and how can we use these experiences to create a transformative shift for people with disability in Queensland in 2032 and beyond.
The world’s largest sporting event takes over a city and creates a powerful platform for inclusivity, accessibility and positive change like no other.
The Panel spoke about the Paris Games and their experiences from the lens of a competitor and media on the ground. They also reflected on what Queensland needs to focus on as we lead into 2032 to be a leader in access and inclusion.
