We will have performances by the fabulously flamboyant Frock Hudson and transcendent diva and cabaret artist Mama Alto. And the Caucus meetings over the two days are not to be missed!

In addition, a community consultation will be run regarding the LGBTIQ Policy Guide 2018. Help identify the outstanding policy issues within the LGBTIQ community especially around trans and gender diverse and intersex issues.

In order to facilitate a conversation about LGBTIQA+ rights in Australia we want to have a platform to share our ideas and experiences and ask the hard questions about how we can move forward and tackle what's important.

Better Together is a space for LGBTIQA+ voices to be heard.
