Access Plus Spanning Identities is a lobby group which encourages access and equity for all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people with a disability, including those who are living with HIV/AIDS. We are seeking recognition and support from the disability sector and the queer communities.

Objectives:

  1. To establish a social network of gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual people living with a disability, including those with HIV/AIDS.
  2. To develop a strategy to bring to the attention of government agencies and departments and various disability services, issues which are specific to lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual people with disabilities.
  3. To develop comprehensive access and equity policies for people with disabilities wishing to gain access to lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual organisations and their services as well as equitable access to disability organisations and services.
Membership:
apsi has grown rapidly and has a diverse membership which includes people with a disability, representatives from government departments, disability organisations and gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual organisations. Our influence is being recognised through our participation in a wide range of formal and informal activities.
