InterAction

As part of the Intersex Peer Support Australia program we run a number of services:

• We deliver the Intersex Peer Support Australia (IPSA) program, providing peer support for individuals and family members.
• As IPSA, we run a secret Facebook group for individuals with innate variations of sex characteristics and family members – this group is support-oriented.
• We run a closed Facebook group for friends and members of IHRA – this group is for friends and allies and is more advocacy-focused.

The private peer support-focused group by IPSA

The IPSA program provides volunteer-run support for individuals, parents, family members, and prospective parents, including via phone, email, in person and online. For more information, please contact Intersex Peer Support Australia.

IPSA also runs a secret Facebook support group for families and individuals. For safety reasons, the secret group is for IPSA members only. There is a small fee to join IPSA, and membership is open to people with innate variations of sex characteristics and family members.

The private IHRA advocacy-focused group

It is not necessary to be a member of IHRA to join our Facebook group – we deliberately make the group open to friends and allies as well. The group also provides a place to share and discuss news and other issues that members and friends wish to raise. The level of privacy associated with the group means that non-members can see who is a member, but cannot see any discussions. We see this as a balance between complete openness and complete secrecy. The group is intended to have an Australian focus and can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/interactionforhealthandhumanrights/
