We're currently looking for more Board Directors; this role contributes to WWDACT's strategic oversight, organisational stewardship, and the advancement of WWDACT's mission. No experience is necessary - we will provide mentoring and support!

Our Co-design Scoping Report for our Peer Supports for SBLGBTIQA+ People with Disability project is now live on our website!

We've teamed up with Inclusive Rainbow Voices, and were funded by the ACT Government, to deliver a co-designed program of supports for SBLGBTIQA+ people with disability. As a first step, we've been researching, collecting data, and consulting with others who have experience with similar programs. We want to make sure our co-design is robust, accessible, and appropriate, so that the program meets the needs of the community.

We'd also like to remind you that our co-design survey is still open until the 7th of September - we'd love your feedback!
Links to the report and the survey are in the comments.
