SA Rainbow Advocacy Alliance is a non-partisan community run charity advocating, educating and informing for a LGBTIQA+ inclusive, healthy and safe South Australia.
Ahead of the 2022 SA Election on 19 March, we met with and wrote to South Australian leaders from across the political spectrum urging them to commit to creating a healthy, safe and inclusive community for LGBTIQA+ South Australians.
To help LGBTIQA+ communities and our allies understand the major political parties’ policies in relation to our Vision, we’ve developed this helpful scorecard outlining each parties’ commitments.
Our scorecard is our independent assessment of parties’ policies relating to LGBTIQA+ communities. It’s purpose is to assess, compare and inform our communities about the policies of political parties and candidates as they relate to the health, safety and inclusion of LGBTIQA+ South Australians.
We do not support or oppose a particular party or candidate, or direct people on how to vote. You can find each party’s responses to our Vision for SA Pride 2030 below:

About our campaign
In 2021 we surveyed 623 LGBTIQA+ South Australians and their allies in partnership with our friends at Equality Australia to develop our communities Vision for SA Pride 2030.
The Vision calls on our political leaders to reinstate the pride of South Australia by creating a healthy, safety and inclusive community for LGBTIQA+ South Australians.
The Vision was supported widely by LGBTIQA+ South Australians and their allies who Pledged their Pride calling on political leaders to:
- protect the equality and safety of LGBTIQA+ people under the law
