Choice and control aren't just buzzwords or jargon, they are words to live by, for people with disability.
Historically their choices have been made for them, and it's essential that disabled people make informed decisions holistically, without shying away from the ones that make people blush.

Did you know that disabled people have the right to sexual expression, just like people without disabilities?
What if your sexual rights were taken away by the government?

Connection looks different for everyone, and that's OK...
Connection can include all kinds of relationships. Intimate relationships are often about touch, and as long as it's legal and consensual, you can dream of and seek out whatever kinds of connection and intimacy is your jam.
We hear your NDIS concerns and we’re with you. To find some light, watch our 25th Anniversary highlights—a reminder of our community’s resilience. Please prioritise your well being right now. We’re in this together as more details unfold.

With your support we’re working to make it easier for disabled adults to express their sexuality and have an active sex life (if they choose), like the rest of the community.
If you believe this is a right, not a luxury, please donate before June 30 2026 - all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
What would you do if your sexual rights were taken away by the government?
This is effectively what has happened when the NDIS changed the rules around funding sexual supports for disabled people who need assistance to engage in sexual activities because of their disability.

Disabled adults of all ages have sexual & physical intimacy needs:
- Young adults
- Married, de facto
- Single, dating or celibate
- Older, living in aged care
Intimacy is part of an ordinary life - a part that most people don't think about until it's taken away.
