LGBTIQA+ Australians remain largely invisible to the local, state and federal governments charged with ensuring their health, safety, dignity and wellbeing.

Decisions directing public funding are commonly based on data collection instruments that include demographic data. The vast majority of data collection surveys, including the Census, have failed to include sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex characteristic metrics alongside other demographic data, resulting in LGBTIQA+ people being consistently left out of policy and funding decisions.

Your Community Health proposes the ABS collect demographic data and produce statistics to accurately reflect the LGBTQIA+ communities of Australia.
