• Extended funding of Workability Project for 2018/19.
  
  
• Reduction of ACAT waiting times to Australian benchmarks.
  
  
• Establishment of a workforce training and development fund to assist transition to national scheme
  
  
• Commitment to minimum staffing levels, based on research, where State delivers residential aged care.
  
  
• A rights based approach to disability with inclusion of NDIS providers under the Qld Human Rights Act.

Going Federal:

We're meeting with Federal MPs and candidates about supporting our campaign.  Our proposed solutions are explained in our Better NDIS Position Paper.

• Train Quality Workers - Implement a portable training scheme based on the model developed by Centre for Future Work and Australian Services Union.
  
  
• Simply and Equitable Access 
  • Streamline the application process providing access to information more appropriate for participants to navigate. 
  • Train/employ NDIA staff with higher levels of awareness of the needs/challenges and also abilities of participants to improve consistency in plan outcomes.
  • Base assessment on the applicant's actual functional impairment, rather than simply their diagnosis.
    
    
• Support our Most Vulnerable - NDIA to drive and fund a solution for provider of last resort when private provision doesn't work.
  
  
• Fair Pricing - Appoint a prominent person/panel to design a new pricing system that takes account of all genuine costs, especially for transport and a sustainable workforce.

The Queensland Community Alliance launched two state-wide campaigns at the Founding Assembly.

The Care Campaign is looking for solutions to the quality and delivery of aged care, mental health care, disability care and the transition for people to the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme).

You can join the Care Campaign team and play an active role, share the campaign with your community, share your personal story or simply stay informed with what's happening.

The Employment & Training Campaign wants an end to worker exploitation, particularly for vulnerable workers, and affordable and high quality vocational training for all.

You can join the Employment & Training team and play an active role, share the campaign with your community, share your personal story or simply stay informed with what's happening.

In late 2017 we held an 'all in' Campaign Action Planning event to work on the next steps with both campaigns.

And while you're here...watch a video of what it's like to be part of a campaign and work together for the common good.
