LGBTIQ+

Our Mission

LGBTIQ+ Health Australia (LHA), founded in 2010, is the national peak body for LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing for organisations and individuals that provide health-related programs, services and research focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans/transgender, intersex, queer and other sexuality, gender, and bodily diverse people. LHA members contribute a wealth of diverse expertise, capabilities, and capacities to the organisation. Together, we serve as a formidable and trusted voice. LHA is guided by four foundational pillars of work: policy and influence, member engagement and support, partnerships and collaboration, and the national facilitation of capacity building programs. We recognise that people’s genders, bodies, relationships and sexualities affect their health and wellbeing in every domain of their life.

Our Vision

Healthy LGBTIQ+ individuals, communities, and organisations, free from the burdens of stigma and discrimination and supported by safe, affirming and accessible services.

Our Strategy

Our Strategic Plan 2024-2029 provides a cohesive national approach to LGBTIQ+ health and outlines our ambitions for strong national peak for LGBTIQ+ health across Australia.

Together we can improve the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Our Approach in Action

LGBTIQ+ Health Australia delivers a number of programs to help LGBTIQ+ people manage their health and access inclusive health services. 

We also help health care providers and other organisations deliver better and more inclusive health outcomes for LGBTIQ+ people.
