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:
- To establish a social network of gay, lesbian,
transgender and bisexual people living with a disability, including
those with HIV/AIDS.
- 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.
- 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.
