QDN are also seeking expressions of interest from people with lived experience or expertise in disability who are interested in being part of the Strategy, including in governance roles or as co-designers of disability reforms. Meetings will be held in person or online, and members will be remunerated for their participation.
Expressions of interest are now sought for membership of:
- the Disability Reform Implementation Stakeholder Committee, which will oversee the delivery of the Strategy.
- the Co-design Team, which will help design and deliver engagement processes and create and test ideas to generate and inform disability policy and program solutions.
