Accessible Events

Developed in partnership with the Queenslanders with Disability Network, this suite of  Queensland Government resources aid in accessible event planning, covering everything from initial brainstorming to communication strategies and on-site execution.

These tools are the culmination of extensive research, co-design initiatives, focus groups, and user testing.

One in five Australians live with disability, including almost one million Queenslanders. It is important that Queenslanders living with disability are not just able to access the event, but are included in all aspects.

Effective planning, including strategies for managing ongoing barriers, can help create accessible systems and reduce major obstacles. The strategies engaged will depend on the venue, size of the event, the audience, program, and the presenter.
