The expo lifted the taboo on disability and sexuality, fostering open dialogue on a wide range of topics. It also focused holistically on the needs of people with disability.<\/p>\n<p>In that year, Feel the Vibe won two awards in the Disability Innovation Awards, and was named a finalist in the National Disability Awards.<\/p>\n<p>With Northcott customers continuing to call for more support in this area, Northcott has continued to deliver Feel the Vibe regularly, adapting to challenges such as COVID-19 restrictions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;12&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding_tablet=&#8221;12&#8243; bottom_padding_tablet=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding_phone=&#8221;5&#8243; bottom_padding_phone=&#8221;7&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221; class=&#8221;content_inner&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<div id=\"attachment_7414\" style=\"width: 1150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7414\" class=\"wp-image-7414 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/supporting2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/supporting2.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/supporting2-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/supporting2-1024x921.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/supporting2-768x691.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7414\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Feel the Vibe had stalls where attendees could find out more or speak to experts.<\/p><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;10&#8243; top_padding_tablet=&#8221;5&#8243; top_padding_phone=&#8221;5&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221; class=&#8221;content_inner&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h4>Feel the Vibe returns<\/h4>\n<p>In November 2023, Feel the Vibe returned as an in-person event, bigger than ever. Held in Kembla Grange, the expo attracted over 200 attendees, including people with disability, support workers and health professionals. The event featured adult product stalls, speakers, interactive displays and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>For attendee and Northcott customer Ben, who travelled from Coffs Harbour with his support worker, the event was the chance to learn some new skills to support him to achieve his relationship goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve come to Feel the Vibe because I really want a boyfriend and to learn how to be in a relationship. At one of the stalls, someone showed me how to put a condom on a banana. I\u2019ve never had anyone show me how to use a condom before,\u201d Ben shared during the expo.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to providing useful information for people with disability, Feel the Vibe is also valuable for professionals working in the disability sector. Service coordinators and support workers from some of Northcott\u2019s houses went along to gain a better understanding of how they can support their customers in this space, including how to connect them with vetted disability-friendly sex workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have customers who have been asking some spicy questions that we haven\u2019t known how to answer appropriately. We\u2019ve come to get answers for them and to find out more about training so that we can learn how to offer better support in this area,\u201d said Amanda Dunshea, Northcott Housing Service Coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>A support worker from Northcott\u2019s Merrylands accommodation said, \u201cMark* has a real interest in this kind of stuff, so we connect him and other residents who are interested with sex workers monthly.
