INCLUSION MATTERS FORUM – Putting inclusion into action

Join us at QDN’s Inclusion Matters Forum to explore how inclusive communities are built, lived, and strengthened—by everyone.

Inclusion Matters forums, hosted by QDN Peer Leaders showcase what real inclusion looks like across the seven outcome areas of Australia’s Disability Strategy. Join people with disability, families, allies and organisations as we share ideas, solutions and practical actions for building stronger, more inclusive communities – together.

About the forums:

Hear from local leaders and changemakers about what works and what’s needed next.

Join conversations about how we can make inclusion stronger across housing, employment, education, health, transport, and community life.

Turning good ideas into real change – share your insights and shape inclusion in your community.
