15.01.2022 We're joining the #LGBTIHealthPledge! The unprecedented public health crisis we face presents enormous challenges to governments and health systems across Australia. Beyond the immediate health impacts of COVID-19, the social and economic consequences are serious and far-reaching. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate existing health inequalities. Some populations that experience health inequalities are disproportionately affected and may be further marginalise...d when accessing crucial health and social wellbeing services. This includes LGBTI people. We know that COVID-19 does not discriminate; nor should our health response. This is why we've joined the #LGBTIHealthPledge campaign to promote LGBTI inclusive principles to ensure that LGBTI people continue to receive culturally appropriate and affirmative care during this challenging time.
