Community Consultations

The Ministerial Advisory Committee on Gay and Lesbian Health (MACGLH) is developing an Action Plan on GLBTI health issues.

The development of the Action Plan has been underpinned by the production of 5 issues papers on:

• Sexual and reproductive health
• Physical health
• Life stage issues
• Mental and emotional health
• Drugs and alcohol

The ALSO Foundation and Community Concepts conducted 16 community consultations throughout Victoria in March and April 2002, over 150 people participated and many written submissions were received.

Thank you to all of you who participated so generously in giving your time and information to the consultation process.

An interim report was developed for the MACGLH with a collation of responses from the community consultations. The MACGLH will now take these responses into consideration in forming an Action Plan.

A second stage of consultation took place in August 2002 to distribute the Action Plan to those interested in commenting on the Pan. A data base was developed of community members, organisations and service providers.

The end result was the completion of the Gay and Lesbain Health documents.
