2026 Voice of Queenslanders with Disability Survey
Now Open
Closes Friday 17 April 2026 at 5pm
Now in its 4th year, this landmark survey gathers lived experience insights to strengthen disability advocacy, supports and policy across Queensland.
Week 2 update
Participation in the survey has increased solidly over the past week. We have seen a noticeable increase in participation from family members and carers and an increase in responses from staff working in the disability sector. Thank you to everyone who responded to our call out last week and took the time to share their experiences.
We would welcome more responses from:
• people under 40 and over 60
• First Nations people
• CALD communities, and
• people living in regional and remote areas.
The survey is open for another 6 weeks. Please share amongst your networks.
