Our vision is better health and wellbeing for all Australians, now and for future generations.

In December 2024, the Australian Government released the National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ people 2025-2035 (Action Plan). The Action Plan provides a national framework to guide how Australia addresses LGBTIQA+ health and wellbeing disparities and make improvements across the health system.
