Webinar: LGBTIQA+ primary health care priorities in Western Australia: Insights for advocacy and action

On Wednesday, 18 September, LGBTIQ+ Health Australia hosted a powerful discussion on LGBTIQA+ primary health care priorities in Western Australia, offering key insights for advocacy and action.

Dr Jonathan Hallett, Senior Lecturer at the Collaboration for Evidence, Research, and Impact in Public Health (CERIPH) at Curtin University, explored the health disparities faced by LGBTIQA+ communities in WA. He outlined a path to address these challenges, examining the intersection of health policy and community organising. Dr. Hallett emphasised the critical role of community inclusion, the struggles of underfunded community-controlled organisations, and the pressing need for policy and legal reforms to achieve health equity for LGBTIQA+ individuals.
