Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Disability and Inclusion Action Plan?

It identifies barriers, sets goals, and details actions to remove obstacles, ensuring equal participation and inclusion. This plan represents a significant step forward towards creating a framework that helps us become more accessible as an organisation by adopting inclusive approaches.
Why is a Disability and Inclusion Action Plan important for Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art?

QAGOMA’s Disability and Inclusion Action Plan will consolidate ongoing work to improve accessibility for employees, visitors, and community members with disability, champion diversity and inclusion in our workplace, and create enabling public spaces.
How long will it take to develop the Disability and Inclusion Action Plan?
