Advisory Groups
One of the important ways that QC delivers services to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Sistergirl and Brotherboy Queenslanders is with the support of our Advisory and Health Action Groups.
The Health Action Groups initiate and facilitate peer education and health promotion to particular areas of our communities with the support of the organisation, and our Advisory Groups provide advice and guidance to the organisation and its work.
The 2Spirits Executive Advisory
As an organisation we have a responsibility to reflect the diversity of the communities that we serve. A safe, transparent and mutually agreed partnership with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ Sistergirl and Brotherboy Communities of Queensland is an essential part of our work towards achieving this diversity.
We acknowledge that as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, you hold the knowledge, strength and cultural practices that create positive, social and emotional wellbeing outcomes.
The Transgender, Gender Diverse and Non-Binary Communities Advisory Group aims to provide quality advice to the Queensland Council for LGBTI Health (QC) which reflects the needs of Transgender, Gender Diverse and Non-Binary (TGDNB) communities, to ensure that QC resources, programs and services enhance the health and wellbeing outcomes of TGDNB people in Queensland.
The Advisory will do this by providing advice on the strategic directions of Transgender, Gender Diverse and Non-Binary (TGDNB) specific communities health programs, services and resources within QC, and ensure general LGBTIQ Sistergirl and Brotherboy QC activities are inclusive of the needs of TGDNB people.
The Advisory Group also leads consultation processes to ensure community voices are captured in a QC TGDNB Communities Health Strategy and also to build the capacity and connections of leaders within the TGDNB communities through Statewide consultation, connection and community development, by creating a Community of Practice within the Advisory Group.
