MHDA News -September 2025

An inspiring day of learning, discussion, and collaboration as we explore the future of inclusive healthcare for older LGBTIQ+ communities.

Our ageing LGBTIQ+ population has fought hard for the right to exist, and now deserves to be well-supported as they enter later life and aged care services. Yet, there remain significant gaps in research, policy, and service deliv- ery. This symposium shines a light on these challenges while celebrating resilience and paving the way for better health outcomes.
