Today we wrapped up our AGM, looking back fondly at 30 years of serving the community! We have new board members, and we're keeping some old ones, and together, we are so excited to build our programs and keeping looking after our communities in the coming year.

Distress is high in our community. Now is the worst possible time to wind back the Medicare-funded mental health sessions. We are calling on the Prime Minister to #ReverseTheDecision ASAP. Join us by retweeting this post to support the call Anthony Albanese @MarkButlerMP

Be gentle with yourself this holiday season.

We are urging Health Minister Mark Butler MP to extend the 20 sessions p/ year access to Medicare funded mental health sessions, and include LGBTIQ+ Health Australia in their consultations. See media release here:
