Intellectual Disability Mental Health Connect aims to help people with intellectual disability get the right services and support for their mental health. It has information for people with intellectual disability, their supporters, and professionals.

This website is aimed at people who live in NSW Australia. However, people who do not live in NSW may still be able to use the information.

Intellectual Disability Mental Health Connect is brought to you by the Department of Developmental Disability Neuropsychiatry (3DN), UNSW Sydney and the Council for Intellectual Disability (CID). This project was funded under the Australian Government’s Information Linkages and Capacity Building program.

We’re extremely passionate about making merch good!

We started out printing t-shirts for friends bands in our local scene. This grew slowly over time into the business we have today.

Now, our staff have over 30 years combined experience working within the industry. We print and embroider on 600+ products for all types of businesses.

We have a simple mission - to create the best products possible. We’ve done the hard work and sourced the best merch on the planet - so you don’t have to.

Bus Stop Films come highly recommended from many gig buddies (participants) who have benefitted from their inclusive programs.

Bus Stop Films is a pioneering, not-for-profit organisation that uses filmmaking and the film industry to raise the profile of people living with disabilities and other marginalised groups, on both sides of the camera.

Through their Accessible Films Studies Program and the brilliant films they create, they provide a platform for the voices and stories of their participants to be shared around the world, whilst advocating for a more inclusive film industry and society at large.

We are a team of psychologists, behaviour analysists and allied health professionals who practice person-centred positive behaviour support.

We provide NDIS participants with psychological services, functional behaviour assessments, behaviour support plans, training, coaching, and consulting.

For the last seven years, Sydney-based independent company DirtyFeet has been opening up the world of contemporary dance. Since 2012, its (dis)ability workshop series, The Right Foot, has enrolled participants from across the ability spectrum.
