ACCESSIBILITY
AT PRIDE AMPLIFIED

As a world-class festival of LGBTQIA+ arts and culture, we are wholeheartedly undertaking the work of making our festival and events as inclusive and accessible as possible. Sydney WorldPride as an organisation and festival is committed to access and inclusion for everyone who wants to celebrate pride with us.

 

We recognise our responsibility to shape our events and festival with access and inclusion at the forefront and to work to reduce barriers so that full participation by all people is possible. We have worked with expert consultants, community organisations and community members to create a Disability Inclusion Access Plan (DIAP) that will help us guide our work and make sure that we are creating our events with this work at the forefront.
