Disability and Sexual Health in the ACT

Women with Disabilities ACT (WWDACT) is working with Women’s Health Matters (WHM) to do a scoping study of sexual health services for women and gender diverse people with disabilities.

The scoping study will look at:

• Clinical services
• Information about sexual health
• Education about sexual health

We will write a report with recommendations to the ACT Government. This report will help to inform sexual health service pilot programs for women and gender diverse people with disabilities in the ACT.

We have received funding from the ACT Government Health and Community Services Directorate to do this study.

We want to hear about your experiences accessing (or trying to access) clinical services, sexual health information and sexual health education in the ACT.

Who is this survey for?

You can complete this survey if you:

• Are over 18 years old
• Live in the ACT or access healthcare in the ACT
• Are a woman, non-binary or gender diverse person with disability/disabilities

How long is this survey?

This survey should take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete.

It may take longer if you have lots of experiences with clinical services, education or information that you want to tell us about.

The survey has 54 questions. You may not be shown all the questions depending on your responses.

You can skip any questions by selecting 'prefer not to say'.
