The federal government has launched a 10-year national health plan focused on LGBTQI communities along with $26 million in medical research.
Health Minister Mark Butler announced the action plan to address health disparities and make improvements across the health system for diverse sexual communities.
"There is so much work we need to do to close the gap in health and particularly mental health outcomes for LGBTIQA+ Australians," he told reporters at WorldPride's Human Rights Conference in Sydney.
