After the success of our Disability Forum in February, and our work with Inclusion Melbourne last year, Pride Foundation Australia has continued our focus on LGBTIQA+ Disability and raised funds for a new project with Deakin University.
Ruth McNair and Ian Gould attended the first meeting to get updates on progress, plans, and met half of the research team, including one of our panel members from the Disability Forum, Jake Lewis. It’s great to see people with lived experience playing a vital role in this research, and we look forward to keeping you updated on the outcomes of this project.
