Outs and Ins

Information and resources

This booklet is for women who are same-sex attracted, have a female partner, identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual. It covers a range of health issues and information, drawn from local research on lesbian and bisexual women’s health. Some of these issues apply to all women, and for these we list lesbian-specific resources. Other issues are specific to lesbian lifestyles or result from living in a world that can still be homophobic or assume that every woman is heterosexual. Support groups and services listed are based in Victoria. Women can use this information to become better informed about their own health and health care. Health care providers can also use it to become better informed of lesbian-specific needs.
