LGBTIQA+ Policy Guide

The Equality Project® developed the Australian LGBTIQA+ Policy Guide to ensure that lesbian, gay, bi+, trans, gender diverse, non-binary, intersex, queer, asexual and aromantic (ace and aro) people and their families experience genuine inclusion and the realisation of their human rights in Australia.

The Guide is a high-level overview of the most prominent needs experienced broadly throughout Australian LGBTIQA+ (rainbow) communities.

The policy areas outlined in the guide have been identified by the Equality Project® as key domains for progressive policy supporting LGBTIQA+ inclusion and human rights in Australia.
