About the plan
A safe, affordable and useable home is fundamental for people with disability to have a good life.
Living in a suitable house that meets our needs is the foundation for good health, steady employment and education, and can enable people with disability and their families to feel included in all aspects of their lives.
People with disability experience a range of barriers to getting and keeping safe, secure and affordable housing, including a lack of appropriate housing and a service system that is difficult to access and navigate.
People with disability:
- are more likely to experience homelessness, poverty, housing stress or live in insecure housing
- are at increased risk of domestic, family and sexual violence
- face difficulties accessing the rental market
- are under-represented in home ownership.
Our vision
People with disability have an opportunity to:
- live independently
- exercise their rights, choice and control over where, how and with whom they live, in a safe environment
- live where they are known and included in the community
- live free from violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation.
Partnering for inclusive housing with Queenslanders with disability 2024-2027 (PDF, 2.6MB) sets out a joint vision for Queensland Government’s commitment to strengthen partnerships with:
- people with lived experience of disability
- peak bodies
- housing
- homelessness
- disability service sectors to improve housing outcomes for people with disability.
This plan is supported by the 4 housing principles for inclusive communities of rights, choice, control, inclusion and a human rights–based approach.
