Submission to NHMRC draft Statement
10 December 2023
LGBTIQA+ people are often excluded from research resulting in a lack of reliable data on their needs and lived experience.
The Department of Health and Aged Care, in partnership with National Health and Medical Research Council has released a draft Statement on Sex, Gender, Variations of Sex Characteristics and Sexual Orientation in Health and Medical research. It’s a great step forward in improving LGBTIQA+ inclusion in research, as we know that LGBTIQA+ people are often excluded from research resulting in a lack of reliable data on LGBTIQA+ people and their needs.
Your Community Health have provided the below suggestions to further strengthen the draft Statement.
