A peer-support network for Queensland families of children with disabilities is moving from Woombye to Nambour mid-May.
The official opening ceremony of Parent to Parent Qld (P2P) will take place from 11am, Friday May 15 at the new Nambour office at 5 Daniel Street.
The Director-General of Queensland’s Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety, Belinda Drew, will officiate the opening.
Two people with intellectual disabilities will host as masters of ceremonies, reflecting the organisation’s strong commitment to inclusion and lived experience.
P2P is a peer-led, not-for-profit organisation, which has supported people with disability and their families across Queensland since 1998. For more than 28 years, P2P has helped people maximise their NDIS funding, plan for a meaningful future and build a strong voice within their communities.
The organisation is the Queensland State Agency for Inclusion Australia and is home to Loud and Clear Qld, which supports people with intellectual disabilities to advocate for themselves and others. Members of Loud and Clear QLD will also present its vision and plans for its 2026 all abilities conference and concert.
Chief executive officer Jodi Wolthers said the new office represented a turning point for the organisation.

“After many years of instability and working in spaces that weren’t the right fit for us, this new office represents a real turning point for Parent to Parent Qld,” she said.
“From the moment people walk through the door, they comment on the feel of the space.
“The energy is positive and welcoming, and it isn’t just us saying it, it’s our visitors too.
“This is our space and it gives us the certainty and foundation we need to continue the work that matters for people with disability and their families on the Sunshine Coast and across Queensland.”
