LHAG (Lesbian Health Action Group)

QAHC has formed the Lesbian Health Action Group (LHAG) to lead on the development of health initiatives for lesbians and other same sex attracted women.  The goals of the group are:

1. to improve the health and wellbeing of lesbians and same sex attracted women in Queensland
2. to build on past and current initiatives and the existing strengths and resources of women
3. to develop new and innovative responses to lesbian health using evidence-based practice

Membership of the Action Group is open to all those who support the goals of the Group and are willing to work to achieve them.

Over the coming months the Group will:

• build and gather literature and research on lesbian and SSAW health issues
• develop a Queensland Lesbian Health Strategy
• secure resources to implement the Lesbian Health Strategy
• engage with women about their health and wellbeing issues in an inclusive, ongoing and consistent manner

Meetings of the Action Group are held on the 1st Tuesday of each month, 7pm at QAHC Brisbane.  If you are interested in attending or would like more information, please contact QAHC on 3017 1777 or email womenshealth@qahc.org.au
