On April 8, 2026, LGBTIQ+ Health Australia hosted a webinar presenting current evidence on the health experiences of LGBTIQ+ people in custodial environments and exploring the implications for policy, service delivery and system reform.
This webinar supports LHA’s focus on improving health equity for LGBTIQ+ populations who experience multiple forms of marginalisation. It examines the role of policy and system design in addressing the health risks associated with incarceration and identifies opportunities to strengthen coordination between correctional, health and community services.
