Queensland’s state disability plan launched during Disability Action Week 2022 represents a new phase in action towards an accessible and inclusive state for people with disability.

The plan, Queensland’s Disability Plan 2022–27: Together, a better Queensland, was developed in collaboration with people with disability, putting lived experiences of disability at the centre of planning.

This is the first plan since Queensland’s full transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and builds on the former plan, All Abilities Queensland.

Aligning with Australia’s Disability Strategy, Queensland’s plan highlights seven priority areas for action, including employment, inclusive homes, safety, community support, education, health and community attitudes.

The plan also allows for the unique aspects of the state’s peoples, regions and diversity, to help ensure each of the more than 900,000 Queenslanders with disability has an opportunity to reach their full potential.

Following the release of the state disability plan, Queensland Government agencies will develop their own disability plans and deliver on actions across the priority areas.

The plan also encourages all levels of government, businesses, industries and organisations to develop and promote inclusion plans, with links to online resources to support planning.
