Queer Family is excited to be teaming up with Byron Shire Council to ensure the voices of LGBTQIA+ people with disability are included in the Byron Shire Council’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP).

We’re seeking expressions of interest from LGBTQIA+ people with disability who are interested in participating in a Queer Family focus group on 8th February 2025, 1-3pm in Mullumbimby. It's a chance to connect with others, share experiences, learn from one another, and advocate for a more inclusive future!

We want to hear from people:

with disability, both visible and hidden;
with a mental health condition

There are only 12 places available, so we’ll be contacting everyone who expresses interest in attending to ensure we give places to a variety of folks with different experiences.

This is a paid gig folks, with each participant receiving $120 for their valuable time and expertise in ways the Byron Shire could be improved for LGBTQIA+ people with disability.

Byron Shire Council has completed their Auslan interpreted focus groups, so unfortunately this will not be an Auslan interpreted event.

Refreshments:

Food and drinks will be provided. Let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements.

Transport:

We can help with transport to attend this event.

Thanks:

This event is funded by Byron Shire Council. For more information about the Byron Shire Council DIAP, visit: Help us update our Disability Inclusion Action Plan - Byron Shire Council
