COVID-19 Submission

COVID-19 has been allowed to magnify existing inequalities for LGBTIQ+ people, particularly in employment, mental health, access to inclusive services, and in finding welcoming and safe spaces.

This submission gives voice to the LGBTIQ+ people of Australia: their key concerns and worries regarding COVID-19 and the government and community response to it, and prominent issues arising from our survey results. Australia must tailor its response to COVID-19 and the recovery from it to ensure that no one is left behind.
