Welcome!
The National LGBTI Health Alliance was established by a number of organisations from across Australia that provide health-related programs, services and research targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and other sexuality, sex and gender diverse people (LGBTI).
Alliance members have come together to work collaboratively to improve the health and wellbeing of sexuality, sex and gender diverse people by:
- advocating with a national voice on the health and wellbeing needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and other sexuality, sex and gender diverse people and communities
- building the capacity of our members to work with and for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and other sexuality, sex and gender diverse people and communities.
We work across a broad range of health areas, striving to improve LGBTI health in many different ways.

ACON and the National LGBTI Health Alliance have welcomed today’s (20/04/2012) announcement by the Australian Government to include LGBTI people as a special needs group under the Aged Care Act, and that $2.5m will be allocated over the next five years for LGBTI training of the aged care workforce.
“ACON is delighted that the Australian Government has recognised the value in delivering training for workers who provide aged care services to LGBTI people, and for such programs to be rolled out nationally,” said ACON CEO Nicolas Parkhill.
“This is a vital initiative”, said Alliance General Manager, Warren Talbot, “which should see LGBTI aged training take place in every state and territory over the next five years”.
Below are some of our most recent submissions:
As a body concerned about the health of LGBTI people we are able to demonstrate that these communities need to be specifically recognised and respected in the context of Human Rights reform.
The significantly poorer health outcomes of LGBTI Australians as a group are largely due to discrimination and exclusion as key social determinants of health. The health issues, treatment options, and preventive health measures relating to the significant population of LGBTI Australians should become a priority in Australian health and medical research.
