Queensland Disability Reforms: Working with the community

Queensland Disability Reforms: Working with the community

Queensland is working on the disability reforms that includes the Disability Royal Commission and the NDIS Review. The Queensland Disability Stakeholder Engagement and Co-Design Strategy was released in late 2024 to put people with disability at the heart of disability reform processes through co-design.

The Strategy will support delivery of the Queensland Disability Reform Framework.

A key part of work to implement these reforms is engaging and co-designing with the disability community including people with disability, families, disability providers, peak bodies, advocacy as well as local, state and federal Government agencies.

Queenslanders with Disability Network (QDN) are leading the implementation of the Strategy.
