LGBTIQA+ communities
We are proud of the diversity of our communities and support inclusion in our organisation, programs and events.
LGBTIQA+ Reference Group
The LGBTIQA+ Reference Group meets quarterly.
The Reference Group provides advice on the implementation of the City's LGBTIQA+ Commitment. It also identifies potential future actions.
The commitment is due to be updated. The group will be assisting with this process. This includes assistance with community engagement, and providing insights and identifying opportunities on issues such as:
- discrimination and stigma
- resilience and pride
- empowerment and voice
The LGBTIQA+ Reference Group meets quarterly.
LGBTIQ+ Commitment
We celebrate the contributions that LGBTIQA+ individuals and communities make to our municipality. The commitment aims to demonstrate how we continue to support these communities to be proud, visible and responsive to the challenges they face.
During community engagement for the development of the Community Inclusion and Equity Framework, community members called for the development of a dedicated LGBTIQ+ Commitment (the commitment). The Hobart community recognised the City's ongoing support for LGBTIQ+ inclusion and wanted it formalised in a public statement of commitment. This commitment has been developed in response to that feedback.
