South Australian Police (SAPOL) recently launched a revised LGBTIQA+ Strategy which includes updates to the LGBTIQA+ Liaison Officer Program.

Thorne Harbour Health was one of the organisations consulted in developing this strategy alongside SA Rainbow Advocacy Alliance, SHINE SA, and The Equality Project - Australia.

We’re hopeful that this strategy helps SAPOL better understand the needs of our diverse communities in South Australia and respond appropriately.

Last week in Adelaide, we launched Innovate – our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) which sets out practical steps to embed reconciliation across our organisation.

🖤 Reconciliation shapes how we work in South Australia as we work with our local diverse communities, and navigate unique histories and relationships.

💛 The plan includes hosting and participating in NAIDOC Week and National Reconciliation Week, offering free THH memberships to Rainbow Mob at key times, and embedding anti-racism and cultural learning throughout the organisation.

❤️ These initiatives ensure our services are culturally safe and our practices reflect the diversity of our communities.

A special thank you to Robert Taylor Cultural Services for your Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony at this launch.

This World AIDS Day, we’re reminding Australia that progress is not set in stone.

Today we honour the 30,000 people living with HIV in Australia, and the many more worldwide.
