Do you want to support people with disability to access sex services? Our Service Provider Awareness Training (SPAT) workshop is now available online. Head to buff.ly/ukKR1WW to register for the first session on Friday 14 March, now!

We are looking for stories of your lived experience! Touching Base has teamed up with @PWDAustralia and we are looking for a range of case studies based on real or hypothetical situations of people with disability accessing sexual supports under the NDIS surveymonkey.com/r/C5Y36FH

Questions still remain on the changes to the NDIS for sexual supports. Until these questions are answered, the situation is very much up in the air and no-one should make any assumptions about what the final outcome will be and under what circumstances “sex work” will be funded.

Are you our next Social Media Manager? We have a volunteer opportunity available! Head to the link below to view the full volunteer description and apply today. touchingbase.org/support-us/vol…
