Parent to Parent Information Page

Parent to Parent Association Queensland Inc. is a network of parents and family members who have a son or daughter with a disability. The organisation is funded by Disability Services Queensland. Parent to Parent has a State Centre on the Sunshine Coast.

We have Local Networks of Parent to Parent across Queensland. As well as regional networks of Dads Appreciating Disabilities, a network of fathers and other men who want to gain companionship, create supportive networks and build positive futures for people who have a disability.

What we do:

Families have a point of reference in their local community for support and information via:
  1. Connecting family members with other families for information

  2. Connecting family members to individuals, professionals, services or community resources.

  3. Connecting grandparents, siblings, foster parents.

  4. Informing and consulting families on relevant issues.

  5. Skill development options to family members and people with a disability.

  6. Person Centred Planning options via Futures Planning and Essential
  7. Lifestyle Planning for families and people with a disability.

  8. Family Action Planning Networks providing opportunities for families to work together to enhance their skills to advocate for their family member, and enable people with a disability to be included with their local community.

  9. Skill development options to interested professionals.

  10. Information to Government, non-government and community organisations about the issues and concerns of families who have a family member with a disability.
