FPNSW celebrates International Day of People with a Disability

Every year on December 3rd, communities worldwide celebrate International Day of People with a Disability (IDPwD), a United Nations sanctioned day which promotes achievements and contributions of people with disability, as well as encourages support for their dignity, rights and well-being.

For more than 30 years Family Planning NSW has engaged with the disability community by developing disability-specific community workshops and professional education to build the capacity of disability workers and carers.  These courses target workers from various government departments, disability service providers as well as family members supporting people with a disability.

Sex Safe & Fun workshop – designed for service providers to enable them to deliver positive safe sex messages to people with an intellectual disability.  

Supporting People with a Disability to Access the Sex Industry – tailored to service providers and carers to allow them to explore issues faced by people with disabilities accessing the sex industry.  

 Sexuality & Disability: workplace policy made easy - designed to inform managers and policy officers of organisations who want a best practice approach in developing a positive sexuality policy.  

Family Planning NSW is also a leader in developing resources for learning about sex, sexuality and relationships for people with disability.  These resources are also useful for disability service providers and carers.
