Engaging Queenslanders: a guide to engaging people with a disability
Summary
Engaging Queenslanders: a guide to engaging people with a disability has been developed 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 and others with an active interest in disability issues.
The guide was developed with the support of interested parties including people with a disability, family members of people with a disability and public servants, some of whom have a long history of working with people with a disability. They provided valuable insight, information, feedback, stories and experience which have informed all aspects of this guide.
