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.

Disability Action Week aims to:

  • encourage positive attitudes towards people with a disability, and

  • promote improved access to the wider community.

2012 Disability Action Week

Disability Action Week 2012 was celebrated from 9-15 September with the theme ‘empower, enable, everybody’, to highlight the importance of working together to make our communities inclusive of all people.

Everybody has a role in creating a truly welcoming and inclusive community, from businesses and government to community organisations and individuals. Disability Action Week is our opportunity to come together in our communities to achieve this vision.

Events in 2012 included morning teas, family fun days, art exhibitions, sporting events and even a circus performance.

If you missed out on a poster or children's activity sheet during Disability Action Week you can still download one here:
