From plan to progress:
Bringing National Priorities into focus for LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing
Wednesday 18 June 2025 | 2:00pm AEST
The National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ People 2025–2035 sets out a clear vision for change - but what does it take to bring that vision to life?
At our next LHA Member Network Meeting, we’ll hear from David Casey of the Health Equity Branch at the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing - the agency responsible for developing and delivering the Plan. The session will explore the next steps in national implementation, and how the Plan can help shape action in government, health services, and the work of LGBTIQ+ organisations.
