Better Together is the national LGBTIQA+ conference in Australia. Hosted by The Equality Project, it exists to facilitate a conversation about LGBTIQA+ rights in Australia and provide a platform to share ideas and experiences and build bridges between our diverse communities.
Regional accessibility
SARAA proactively targeted regional South Australians in promoting the conference, for example by posting Facebook ads targeted to regional areas and promoting the event via regionally based community groups.
7 participants from regional SA attended the conference as a result of SARAA’s sponsorship and utilised travel and accommodation subsidies.
