Meet Working It Out: Our 2019 Major Grant Recipient

  • March 16, 2020
  • Uncategorized

Working It Out is proud to receive the 2019 Pride Foundation Australia – Sidney Myer Foundation funding grant for their project “LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Practice for Disability Services”.

Working It Out, Tasmania’s gender, sexuality and intersex status support and education service is the 2019 recipient of this partnership grant between PFA and the Sydney Myer Foundation.

WIO CEO, Lynn Jarvis was looking for ways to further support the organisation to focus on LGBTQIA+ inclusive practice when she learnt of the PFA SMF grants, “I felt it was directly related to what we were planning to do.  Accessing funding is always difficult particularly in such a specialised area as ours but this opportunity felt like it had been written for us!  

The application process was straightforward, the timeframe was achievable, and we were delighted to hear we had been successful.

We anticipate that the LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Practice for Disability Services project end product, a tailored training package for disability service providers, will have ongoing outcomes throughout Tasmania and perhaps more broadly.

Subsequent to submitting our application I learnt of further funding available to us.  If successful, this will enable us to take the LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Practice for Disability Services project even further.  The PFA SMF grant really has sparked and inspired us to work further in this area.

I look forward to relating the highlights, challenges and successes to you for a future newsletter article.”

    Acknowledgement of Country

    Pride Foundation Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

    Inclusivity

    Our selection of rainbow colours in our logo reflects the traditional 1979 meaning of the rainbow flag: Red symbolising Life; Orange symbolising Healing; Yellow symbolising Sunlight; Green symbolising Nature; Blue symbolising Harmony; and Purple symbolising Spirit. We are proudly inclusive of all LGBTQIA+ identities – including diverse sexual identities, gender identities, sex variations, races, skin colours, abilities, ages, and faiths (or no faith).

    Pride Foundation Australia uses the umbrella term LGBTIQA+ because it is recognisable to many of the organisations, communities and individuals we work with.

    We understand that the diverse sexualities, relationships, gender identities and bodies that might be included under this acronym are very distinct groups, some of which may belong to multiple communities, and some who may use other names, or none at all.

    All language evolves and changes. To us, using respectful and inclusive language means checking with the person about the words they use to describe themselves.
