The NDIA is committed to ensuring that people with disability from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, sistergirl and brotherboy (LGBTIQASB+) communities have an equal and equitable chance to benefit from the NDIS.
The NDIA LGBTIQA+ Strategy (the strategy) outlines our commitment to being respectful and responsive to the diverse needs of people with disability who identify as LGBTIQA+, their families, carers and communities.
A range of actions have already been taken to improve the experience of LGBTIQA+ participants which are having a significant impact. Our strategy will build on these foundations to ensure the best outcomes for LGBTIQA+ participants and communities.
The strategy was developed in consultation with people with disability who identify as LGBTIQA+ and peak organisations in the LGBTIQA+ community and disability sector.
We are currently in the process of updating the NDIA LGBTIQASB+ Strategy.
To kick off this work, we met with a number of participants, carers, family members, and representative organisations at the LGBTIQASB+ Summit held at the Victorian Pride Centre in July.
