Building Housing Pathways for Health, Disability, Justice & Community Care
Abstract submissions close: 21 September 2026
The 2026 Queensland Impact Housing Summit invites submissions from sector leaders, practitioners, researchers, government representatives, housing providers, developers, health and disability professionals, community organisations and innovators who would like to contribute to the Summit program.
Queensland’s housing challenges increasingly intersect with health, disability, mental health, homelessness, domestic and family violence, justice and community services.
Addressing these challenges requires more than increasing housing supply. It requires practical solutions, new partnerships, innovative delivery models and stronger pathways between housing and the systems people rely upon.
We are seeking practical, evidence-informed and solution-focused presentations that share new approaches, successful initiatives, emerging models, lessons from implementation and opportunities for cross-sector collaboration.
