People with disability

We are creating a city where everyone's included. Learn more about our access and inclusion work below.

Hidden disabilities support

We are a proud member of the Hidden Disabilities sunflower global network. The network aims to create a more inclusive and welcoming world for people with disabilities such as dementia, vision and hearing impairment and chronic illnesses.

If you have a non-visible disability and would like to be a part of the sunflower community by wearing a lanyard, badge or wristband, you can also ask our friendly staff for your sunflower item at one of the following venues. Alternatively, contact us by email inclusion@goldcoast.qld.gov.au, phone or SMS 0468 566 413.
