Vision Australia Election Priorities: Queensland 2020
The 2020 Queensland Election is set to take place on 31 October. With 75,000 Queenslanders representing the blind and low vision community, together, our voice is strong.
Vision Australia is calling on the next Queensland Government to build on work already done to improve the lives for Queenslanders who are blind or have low vision.
Priorities at a glance
Equal employment opportunities
The Queensland Government has already committed to a disability employment target of 8% by 2022. Now is the time to lead the nation and ensure that commitment becomes a reality.
Ongoing library funding
he Vision Australia library opens up a whole world of information to people who are blind or have low vision. Vision Australia calls on the Queensland Government to provide ongoing yearly funding to ensure this critical service can remain operational.

Review and extend the Taxi User's Subsidy Scheme subsidy fare to $60 and include other ride sharing options to ensure equal right of access.
