Campaigns

We work together to make sure that the community and decision makers know about what is important to people with disability.

We know that for people with disability there can be lots of services, policies, and laws that need to change to make systems and services more inclusive and accessible for people with disability.

We work to speak up about the things that need to change and work with businesses, industry and Government to co-design solutions that will deliver better services across key areas like housing, health, transport, advocacy, employment, aged care and the NDIS.

Campaigning Together

By building strong partnerships and working alongside other organisations, communities, and other key stakeholders, we ensure that the voices and experiences of people with disability are at the heart of decision-making processes.

See Me. Hear Me. Respect Me.

QDN is proud to have been part of this co-design campaign with Queensland Health (a first of its kind). This powerful campaign, called “See Me. Hear Me. Respect Me.”, was inspired by the experiences of QDN members, as well as other people with disabilities.

Building Better Homes

Mandatory accessibility standards within our National Building Code will ensure hundreds of thousands of Australians have access to appropriate housing.

NDIS reforms

Queenslanders with disability, families, carers, advocacy organisations and service providers have raised issues regarding proposed changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Member feedback from the NDIS Reform Forum, Pause, Reset, Co-design

“Don’t do anything that compromises the integrity of the original (NDIS) goals. Treat people with dignity, respect and fairness. If a review is necessary, do it across the whole scheme not just on one aspect – planning.”

“Co-design is the way forward to reform the NDIS”
