Thank you and merry Christmas!

Thank you to all those took part in the Blue Skies Conversations on or before 3 December 2009 — International Day of Persons with a Disabilities.

Your generosity of spirit has been overwhelming.

It is estimated that at least 1,500 people from all across Queensland have so far participated in Blue Skies Conversations.

As some of you may already know, Miniser Palaszczuk is in the process of developing the cabinet submission for a 10 year plan for the disability sector. Collectively and individually, your conversation feedback has begun to inform that work.

The conversation outcomes (the raw data) are now available on this website and a more detailed report and analysis will follow early 2010.

We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and look forward to being back in touch with you again in the New Year.

 

Introduction

At present:

• there are many Queenslanders with disability who don’t get the support they need to live decent lives in the communities of their choice; and 
• there is a high level of reliance on a funding and service delivery system that is predominately crisis driven.

Early in June 2009, a collection of people involved in Queensland's disability sector - people with disability, family members, advocates, public servants, service providers, peak bodies, academics and other committed individuals - met for three days to undertake the Blue Skies Scenario Building Activity.

The scenario that the group developed (the Blue Skies Scenario) is now available on this website and is currently informing conversations about our vision for the future across the broader disability sector and stakeholder group.
