More information

The purpose of Engaging Queenslanders: A guide to engaging people with a disability is to support government staff to strengthen public sector engagement with people with a disability. It provides both good practice and contextual information.

While the guide's title refers to engaging people with a disability, successful engagement programs are likely to also involve:

• the families and carers of people with a disability
• people who work for disability organisations in a paid or voluntary capacity
• public advocates
• academics
• others with an active interest in disability issues

The guide was developed with the support of these parties, some of whom have a long history of working with people with a disability. They provide valuable insight, information, feedback, stories and experience which have informed all aspects of this guide.
