The LBQWHC will be an unique opportunity to engage with health and wellbeing issues specific to LBQ Women through presentations, workshops, conversations, art and social networking events. The conference is open to all and previous attendees include a diverse range of health, human service, policy and clinical professionals – alongside academics, students and community members.

The LBQWHC centres meaningful inclusion, diversity and access. It is committed to creating safer spaces to strengthen the health and wellbeing of all LBQ women, including Aboriginal women and Sistergirls, women of colour, women with disabilities, trans, gender diverse and intersex women.  We respect that experiences of LBQ sexuality can intersect with diverse gender experiences, intersex status and all forms of marginalisation that women experience. We acknowledge that striving for best practice and positive health outcomes for all women requires meaningful engagement and fostering a sector response that embeds these principles in all aspects of our work.
