What is a Disability & Inclusion Action Plan?

A Disability and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) is a guiding document that will help us to reflect and celebrate our strengths, identify areas for growth and set realistic actions we want to make for improved accessibility.

Community is important to us, so we will create this plan through public consultation, staff/volunteer training, workshops and stakeholder engagement.

When we’ve finished our Disability and Inclusion Action Plan, this document will be shared on our website.

Join Queensland Holocaust Museum for a powerful and illuminating presentation by Abe Schwarz, founder of the William Cooper Legacy Project, as he brings to life the extraordinary story of one of Australia’s most courageous and visionary civil rights leaders.

The presentation will focus on Uncle William Cooper’s historic protest following Kristallnacht, a bold and compassionate act led by the Australian Aborigines’ League (AAL) in 1938. In an era of global silence, Cooper’s stand against Nazi persecution of Jews remains a landmark moment of moral clarity, uniting the histories of Aboriginal and Jewish resilience in an act of shared humanity.

This is more than a history lesson; it is a tribute to a man whose voice still echoes in today’s struggles for human rights. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
