Staff member with disability serves a customer in a bakery

Carers Queensland aims to work with community organisations and their volunteers to build their knowledge and understanding so that people with disability are welcomed and included as part of their workforce, and in their programs and services.

We will work with Volunteer Involving Organisations to assist them to improve their recruitment, training, induction, and mentoring processes to be more inclusive of people with disability.

We will also facilitate involvement of people with disability in opportunities to build their capacity to volunteer, and to recognise the breadth of potential opportunities available for them to use and grow their skills.

The project will work with organisations, people with disability and/or their families from across various regions in Queensland.
