Your NDIS Plan and Intimacy Services

" Historically people with disability have been subjected to societal beliefs that we are either asexual or hypersexual, while constantly being denied full autonomy over our own bodies.

​

The NDIS have further perpetuated this stigma by failing to develop or produce a clear and comprehensive sexuality policy for NDIS participants that encompasses and supports individual sexual needs and goals at all life and development stages.

​

A sexuality policy should be positively framed and place sex, sexuality and relationships within the context of disability supports. The policy should include a broad range of goals an NDIS participant may seek to include in their NDIS plan. These goals might include: appropriate disability-inclusive sexuality and relationships education; information and resources to support individual learning needs; support for dating and social sexual engagements; access to adaptive sex toys; access to sex therapy or utilising sexual services from sex workers. "

From Touching Base

​

I am a proud supporter of sexual health and advocacy for all human beings. All adults who have capacity to consent should be allowed access to:

• Discussion and counselling around sexuality

• Help with dating and adaptive sexual activity

• Choose and use sex toys correctly and safely 

• Consultation for adaptive family planning and maintaining sexual relationships with their partners

• Escorting and explicit sexual services 

​

I provide sexual/intimacy services for NDIS participants as aligned with their NDIS goals. You can contact your plan manager or support coordinator to see if you have current access to these services.
