Disability Action Week 2024 is coming!
Disability Action Week will run from 24 November to 1 December 2024.
This year’s theme is ‘Accessible communication: connect, include and empower’.
We want everyone to start a conversation about communication to make our state more accessible and inclusive.
Small, easy changes can make the difference for people with diverse communication needs.
Take action to remove barriers that may prevent people with disability from accessing information. Consider:
- making your web content easy to read
- including alt-text for images for people who use screen readers
- writing documents in plain language – you could go further and make Easy Read and dyslexia-friendly versions and Auslan translations available
- making sure that events can be enjoyed by everyone. Check out the Queensland Government accessible event guide and checklist.
The first step is to find out how people need or want to receive information.
