LGBTIQ Community

469 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (29 November 2018). When will the government conduct a round table to consult with the community and stakeholders on mechanisms to ensure that voices are heard at the highest levels of government concerning LGBTIQ issues?

1. Where will this round table be conducted?

2. Who will be invited to this round table?

3. Who from the government and the Department for Human Services will be participating in this roundtable?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): The Minister for Human Services has provided the following advice:

The LGBTIQ Round table will be held in the first half of 2019.

LGBTIQ community organisations and significant non-government organisations that have a track record of working with LGBTIQ community members will be the primary participants.

Those State Government departments and authorities deemed to be of interest to the LGBTIQ communities, such as the Department of Health and Wellbeing, will be invited.

Due to concerns raised by LGBTIQ communities regarding domestic and family violence, Assistant Minister Carolyn Power will also be invited. Staff from the Department for Human Services will provide support to the round table and at least two active participants from the Policy and Innovation team of the Community Services Directorate.

While the LGBTIQ round table will be conducted in the Adelaide metropolitan area, consideration is being given regarding how those living in regional areas might be involved in the discussions as participants or observers.
