Rainbow Ageing is a national research project that aims to provide new data on the health and well-being of older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Australians.

It is led by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS) at La Trobe University. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council and involves four partner organisations, including the National LGBTI Health Alliance, COTA Australia, SANE Australia, and Carers Australia. The LGBTI Health Alliance contributed in–kind services, including reviewing materials, joint-authorship and promoting the work through our social media channels and networks. There will be 14 articles published in all.
