What We Do

Blackbooty

Participants from the Blackbooty Mardi Gras float.

 

We help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are GLBT, living with HIV, engaged in sex work or who inject drugs to improve their health and wellbeing by providing relevant knowledge, skills, resources and social networks. We do this within a culturally appropriate model of holistic health that recognises emotional, spiritual, social and mental wellbeing. We also work with many different groups to tackle all forms of racism in our community.

 

Did you know?

The HIV diagnosis rates among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are equivalent to the general population but the pattern of transmission is different, including more women, injecting drug users and heterosexual men.
