The LINK ABOVE is a central resource space for our diverse LGBTI community members.

LGBTQI+ Health Australia acknowledge this is a challenging time for every person. There are particular challenges in our communities, and the Alliance would like offer support in a meaningful way. 

We acknowledge the panic, frustration, confusion and uncertainty felt by many of us, in the face of the overwhelming media response to the pandemic. We also acknowledge the particular fears and difficulties that may be faced by LGBTI people. This is a stressful time for all of our community members, who may experience further marginalisation and anxiety.

This resource page aims to assist our community members in adjusting to these changing circumstances and every-day routines such as socialising, working, and meeting our most basic health and well being needs.

We hope it might help you #ConnectWithConfidence when accessing health and support: whatever that looks like for your body, relationship, income or postcode.
