When I was a support worker, I saw individuals overlooked by a system that failed to see them for who they were. Especially those navigating the intersection of disability and the LGBTQIA+ community.

FAQs
Are there LGBTQIA+ friendly disability support services in Australia?
Yes, we're one of them! We provide inclusive NDIS support services designed for LGBTQIA+ people with a disability. Our approach is identity-affirming, trauma-informed, and person-led, ensuring you feel safe, respected, and supported without needing to hide who you are.
What is an LGBTQIA+ affirming NDIS provider?
An affirming provider respects your identity, uses correct names and pronouns, and creates a safe, inclusive environment. We embed this into every part of our service, from staff training to how supports are delivered.
Do I need to be “out” to access disability support?
No. You choose what you share. We prioritise your privacy, safety, and comfort at all times.
Will my support worker respect my gender identity and pronouns?
Yes. Our team is trained in inclusive practice and respectful communication. Misgendering and discrimination are not accepted in our service.
Can I choose an LGBTQIA+ support worker?
You can request a worker who aligns with your identity, preferences, or lived experience. We prioritise your comfort and safety when matching support workers.
What if I’ve had a bad experience with other providers?
Many LGBTQIA+ people have experienced discrimination in NDIS services. We take a trauma-informed approach and work with you at your pace to rebuild trust.
