Intersex Health & Wellbeing
Together with Intersex Human Rights Australia and Queensland Council for LGBTI Health, we are also proud to launch new Intersex Health & Wellbeing resources that work together to visually map established health care needs and highlight potential gaps in services.
The suite of resources encompasses:
The tool currently provides indicators matched to existing industry accreditation standards across 6 sectors – primary health care; mental health; peer-led intersex organisations; education, skills & employment; social services; and health specialists
A formal launch event for these resources will take place via Zoom on Friday 6 November at midday (Qld), 1pm (ACT/NSW/Tas/Vic), 10am (WA), 12.30pm (SA), 11.30am (NT).

Yellow Tick
Together with Intersex Human Rights Australia we are proud to launch a new community-led initiative to ensure your organisation is intersex affirmative from the front door to the boardroom table. Through provision of a policy and program review service alongside training and intersex specific resources, the Yellow Tick helps improve consistency and accountability when groups move to learn more and make their services more intersex inclusive. If you seek to implement and use the healthcare pathways resources within program design and delivery, training and educational program at your organisation or institution, then we invite you to licence the resources and become Yellow Tick approved.
