We help GLBT people and people with HIV, sex workers and drug users in regional and rural areas of NSW to improve their health and wellbeing by providing a range of services, resources, support groups and events.

We also provide information and training to mainstream service providers and community groups throughout NSW to improve their knowledge of HIV and GLBT health issues. We have offices in the Hunter, Mid North Coast, Northern Rivers and Illawarra regions of NSW.

 

Did you know?

GLBT people and people with HIV living in regional and rural NSW face a range of distinct challenges when it comes to maintaining their health and wellbeing. Concerns about confidentiality and discrimination can discourage them from seeking help. A lack of supportive social networks can make it hard for some to understand, acknowledge or look after their health needs. And of course the tyranny of distance often makes it difficult to get to whatever services are available.
