We increase understanding and awareness of the issues which impact on the health and wellbeing of our communities through
policy development, advocacy, research and communications.

Working together with legislators, policymakers and service providers to help them understand the needs of GLBT people and people affected by HIV is a vital part of our work. We do this through written submissions to government enquiries, presenting on panels and hearings, engaging directly with service providers and policy makers, and through participating in a wide range of advisory processes and committees. Our policy and advocacy work is based on evidence we acquire from working with our community as well as research bodies and academics. Our work also involves raising public awareness of the issues facing our community through print, broadcast and social media.
