VOLUNTEER

Join the LGBTIQ+ Ministerial Advisory Council

Contribute your skills to the LGBTIQ+ advocacy in the ACT
 |  FUSE  |  Community

The ACT Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer Ministerial Advisory Council provides strategic advice to the ACT Government on issues affecting LGBTIQ+ communities in the ACT. LGBTIQ+ is used respectfully to include all people of diverse sex, gender, variations of sex characteristics or sexual orientation.

The plus symbol is a reminder that the acronym is not intended to limit this to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex and/or queer.

2023 nominations to join the Council are now open!

There are multiple vacancies available, one of which is an identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander position. It is essential that applicants for all vacancies have demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following areas:

  • understanding of trans health and other issues related to equality of trans people (including in sport);
  • understanding of a range of issues related to LGBTIQ+ seniors;
  • understanding of a range of issues related to LGBTIQ+ people with disability;
  • understanding of a range of issues related to an intersection of race and migration status with being an LGBTIQ+ person; and
  • understanding of a range of issues related to other marginalised identities beyond gay and lesbian communities.

We are looking for new members to connect, contribute, engage, and lead areas of advocacy in our diverse LGBTIQ+ communities. These are important roles to convey the voices of community on key issues and directly influence the work of government.
