What We Do

Advocacy

ACON has developed numerous policy responses to key issues relating to our clients and communities.

 

We keep policy-makers and legislators informed about the issues that affect our community. We also encourage community members to support our advocacy efforts through direct mail and online campaigning.

 

Did you know?

  • GLBT people are still discriminated against under Commonwealth and NSW legislation in areas such as marriage and adoption
  • Over 50% of gay men and lesbians have experienced homophobic harassment and bullying in their workplace
  • Only a limited number of national surveys ask questions around sexual orientation and gender identity. This lack of data makes it extremely difficult to plan for the health needs of GLBT people
