About InterAction for Health and Human Rights
Wednesday 29 October 2025 - 2:00pm AEDT
Bringing together 2 national organisations focused on human rights and peer support, InterAction for Health and Human Rights is Australia’s only intersex community-controlled organisation for people irrespective of innate variation of sex characteristics.
It exists alongside variation-specific organisations which can be controlled by people with lived experience, but also parents or clinicians, and LGBT organisations that focus on sexuality and gender diversity. This uniqueness also extends to InterAction’s policy work and psychosocial service delivery.
In this session, A/Prof Morgan Carpenter will outline InterAction’s history, goals and services. Check out InterAction’s resource collection at interaction.org.au/resources
