Disability Inclusion - LGBTIQ+ Health Australia

Disability Inclusion

Our Voices, Our Lives, Our Way Project

Co-designed by and for LGBTIQ+ people with disability, the ‘Our Voices, Our Lives, Our Way’ (OVOLOW) project is a digital advocacy resource created to support LGBTIQ+ people with disability and their communities.

Jointly developed by LGBTIQ+ Health Australia (LHA) and the National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA), the project features an online learning hub offering content, toolkits, and workshops focused on storytelling, advocacy, and community participation.

Our accessible online learning experience includes:

  • Short video animations
  • Factsheets
  • Infographics
  • Toolkits
  • Guides
  • Lived experience stories from other LGBTIQ+ people with disability

Additionally, we’ve developed a series of vodcasts featuring diverse LGBTIQ+ people with disability discussing art, advocacy, and storytelling. These vodcasts can be accessed here.
