The Disability Royal Commission (DRC) heard from nearly 8000 people with disability, their families, supporters and advocates. Their experiences painted a picture of a more inclusive and equitable Australia and set out a roadmap for change. Now, we are working together to ensure those voices continue to be heard and that the Commission's recommendations lead to meaningful action.

Listen to Us brings together Queensland artists whose new artworks explore the themes that matter most to people with disability. Through painting, photography, mixed media and other artistic forms, these artworks reflect personal experiences, hopes and calls for change.

Each artwork invites us to stop, look, listen and remember what the Disability Royal Commission uncovered. Together, they remind us of the importance of continuing to work with people with disability to build a Queensland where everyone can participate, contribute and belong.

Held at Queensland Parliament House on 1 December 2026, just ahead of International Day of People with Disability, Listen to Us brings together artists, community members, advocates and decision-makers to reflect on the stories, experiences and aspirations of disabled Queenslanders.

The DRC Still Matters campaign is led by Disability Advocacy and Representative Organisations across Australia. We are tracking government progress on the Disability Royal Commission's recommendations and building an independent, accessible tracker to help people with disability and the community monitor implementation and drive change.

Listen to Us forms part of this broader effort to ensure the voices heard by the Royal Commission continue to be listened to and acted upon.
