How The Big Meeting is breaking barriers around social and sexual safety for people with disability Since 2022, The Big Meeting has brought people together to break the silence around sexuality, consent and violence against disabled people.

Meet two more of the fabulous presenters who will be at the Big Meeting on June 23.

Our Me and You program runs during the school holidays and is designed to help young people aged 10-16 with intellectual disability and/or are on the autism spectrum understand their changing bodies, emotions and needs, and relationships with other people.

We work closely with carers/ and parents, the program can be billed for participant and carer under the NDIS category of Capacity Building> Improved Daily Living.

Our next course dates run 13,14,16 & 17 July. Visit the link in our bio for more information.

All In, this year’s theme for National Reconciliation Week calls on all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every day.

The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long.
