Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, the functions of the former Department of Treaty, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Communities and the Arts are transitioning to new departments. Work is underway to update departments’ websites.

Disability Service Plan

The Department of Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and Multiculturalism affirm our unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive work environment for employees living with disability and is committed to creating real and lasting change for people with disability.

The objective of the Disability Service Plan (currently under review) is to ensure that the department provides the supports needed for people living with disability to participate fully in the cultural, social, and economic life of our community. We strive to work collaboratively with people with disability, ensuring that our services are accessible, responsive, and culturally sensitive.

The plan is also being reviewed to ensure alignment with the Queensland’s Disability Plan and draws on the priorities of people with disability and works to identify and address issues for people with disability and promote and uphold their rights.

Annual reporting on our progress will also be published throughout the life of the plan.

Cultural acknowledgement

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.

Our human rights commitment

We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
