Thorne Harbour Health and Rainbow Health Victoria are encouraging Victoria’s LGBTI communities to take action and have their voice heard during the Royal Commission into Mental Health.
Attend a Community Consultation
Make a Submission
Together with Rainbow Health Victoria (formerly Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria), we've developed the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System - Consumer Talking Points. This resource outlines key points around improving Victoria's mental health systems to better support our LGBTI communities. Each point is then supported by background information and research.
It's incredibly important that our community is heard during this process. This is our chance to make sure LGBTI communities are included in any solutions or improvements made to Victoria's mental health systems.

This is a newly created role that reflects our commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of our LGBTIQA+ communities in Adelaide.Rebecca emigrated to Adelaide from the North of England with her wife Kylie and four children just under 5 years ago. After marrying in England, Rebecca and Kylie closely watched the marriage equality vote in Australia, hoping it would pass so they could bring their family down under. They’ve fallen in love with Adelaide and wouldn’t want to be in any other state.
