Disability Action Week
One in five Queenslanders has a disability of some kind, and disability touches the lives of most Queenslanders in some way – through the experiences we have with friends and family, at school, in the workplace and in the community.
The aims of Disability Action Week are to encourage positive attitudes towards people with a disability, improve access and make our community a better place for everyone.
Disability Action Week activities encourage the community to focus on a person's achievements and abilities. Events highlight that diversity and difference enrich communities and that people with a disability have much to contribute to their local communities.
