SUMMARY:PWDA's Online National Forum: InFocus: Queer & Disabled
DESCRIPTION:PWDA’s Online National Forum: InFocus: Queer & Disabled \n\n\n\nIn Focus: Queer & Disabled is a national online event bringing together an incredible line-up of LGBTQIA+ people with disability\, including trans and gender diverse and First Nations voices\, to share their stories\, insights\, and leadership. \n\n\n\nThe event will celebrate\, raise awareness\, and amplify visibility of LGBTQIA+ people with disability\, creating a platform that challenges stereotypes and discrimination while strengthening community connection.

Attendees will hear from trailblazing speakers who bring lived expertise to the forefront\, building understanding and driving greater inclusion across Australia. \n\n\n\nThis event forms part of PWDA’s ongoing commitment to claim space\, amplify voices\, and build a stronger\, more visible presence for LGBTQIA+ people with disability across society. \n\n\n\nForum details\n\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday 18 February 2026 \n\n\n\n\n1:00pm – 3:00pm AEDT (Sydney\, Melbourne\, Canberra\, Tasmania)\n\n\n\n12:00pm – 2:00pm AEST (Brisbane)\n\n\n\n12:30pm – 2:30pm ACDT (Adelaide)\n\n\n\n11:30am – 1:30pm ACST (Darwin)\n\n\n\n10:00am – 12:00pm AWST (Perth)\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Zoom (Meeting link will be sent following your registration)Cost: FreeRegister:  \n\n\n\n\nCLICK TO REGISTER
