What we’re working on
Learn about what’s happening across the issues that matter to LGBTIQA+ South Australians, and what you can do.

Conversion practices that attempt to change or suppress a person’s sexuality or gender identity are now prohibited under South Australian law.

We’re facing an increase in anti-LGBTIQA+ hate, but have no legal protection from hate speech and vilification.

Gender affirming care must be accessible for all trans and gender diverse South Australians.

Intersex South Australians must be empowered to make their own medical decisions about their own bodies.

Quality accessible healthcare is vital for all South Australians, but especially people living with HIV who need timely treatment to stay healthy.

Safe, inclusive and supportive learning environments for every child and young person means supporting LGBTIQA+ students.

Legal loopholes allow religious organisations to discriminate against LGBTIQA+ teachers, students and people accessing health, housing and other essential community services.

Criminalisation, harassment and targeted policing mean we have a troubled history with law enforcement that’s in need of repair.

Psychological distress is significantly higher for LGBTIQA+ South Australians as a result of continued stigma, discrimination and harassment and violence.

We need to be properly counted in population statistics and represented in public policy.

Our LGBTIQA+ community sector provides life-changing support, but is significantly underfunded.

LGBTIQA+ South Australians can live happy, healthy and safe lives when we’re affirmed and supported by our friends, families, service providers, systems and governments.

Supporting the local government sector to strengthen engagement and inclusion of LGBTIQA+ people.

Misunderstanding, discrimination and barriers to accessing support increase the risks and harms of LGBTIQA+ people experiencing family, domestic and/or sexual violence.
