• See Me. Hear Me. Respect Me.

  

  Have your say – help shape better healthcare for people with disability in Queensland.

  Griffith University researchers want to hear from people with disability and their supporters about healthcare experiences – what’s improved and what still needs to change.

  This work is part of an evaluation of the "See Me. Hear Me. Respect Me." campaign — a Queensland Health initiative co-designed with people with disability to help health professionals and the community better understand, respect, and include people with disability.

  

  You can take the survey even if you haven’t heard of the campaign.
  
  🕒 It takes about 15–20 minutes
  ♿ Accessible formats are available
  🎁 Go in the draw to win 1 of 3 $50 gift vouchers

  Who can do the survey?
  People aged 18+
  Living in Queensland
  A person with disability, or a carer/family member/significant other of a person with disability

  📣 Your voice matters!

  Your feedback will help improve healthcare and create more respectful, inclusive services across Queensland.
