About Safer Me Safer You

The Safer Me Safer You national project works alongside people with disability to learn what social and sexual safety means to them. Through our learnings, our project is changing the cultures of workplaces across Australia to ensure all people with disability experience social and sexual safety, everywhere and always.

Racheal Leahcar, a member of our Project Advisory Group, wrote a song around sexual rights for people with disability called “Burning in the Light”.

Our Projects

A woman in a wheelchair speaks at a conference while another woman uses sign language to interpret next to her. They are in front of a poster asking, "What is safety and how do you know?" with points about cultural, physical, and social safety.

Amplifying the Voices

Amplifying the voices of girls, women and gender diverse people with disability is central to our Project. All of the Amplifying the Voices activities inform the development of national guidelines that support workforces to create social and sexual safety for people with disability.

Three women are posing together in front of posters that read "We Stand With You" and "Celebrate Diversity." One woman, standing on the left, is wearing a black-and-white checkered coat. The woman in the middle is seated in a wheelchair with a service dog by her side. The woman on the right is wearing a black top and a bright pink skirt.

National Guidelines

Our development of national guidelines will assist organisations to create cultures of safety in their workplaces. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide best practice principles for organisations and workers to adopt approaches that increase social and sexual safety for people with disability.

SoSAFE Guides

We have improved the SoSAFE Framework to increase accessibility to diverse groups of people with disability and the workforce sectors who support them. In doing so, we are building a bank of case studies around accessible and inclusive strategies to create effective social and sexual safety in a wide range of contexts.
