We help lesbians and other same-sex attracted women to improve their health and wellbeing by providing relevant knowledge, skills, resources and social networks. We also help mainstream service providers improve their knowledge of lesbian health issues.

Some services (e.g. The Young Women’s Project and the C-Word Cancer Support Group) are geared to specific groups. There are also services outside ACON catering for specific groups of lesbians and same-sex attracted women with whom ACON works closely such as social groups, support groups and service providers.

ACON provides a range of services for lesbians and same-sex attracted women including Counselling, access to the Knowledge Centre, the Aboriginal Project, the Alcohol and Other Drugs Program and the Anti Violence Project. ACON has regional branches throughout NSW that also provide services to lesbians and same sex attracted women.

Lesbians and other same-sex attracted women have the highest number of risk factors for breast cancer of any subset of women in the world.
