On a joyful evening at the Victorian Pride Centre in St Kilda, Melbourne (Naarm), Intersex Peer Support Australia (IPSA) celebrated its 40th birthday — marking four decades as the longest running intersex organisation in Australia, and possibly the world.
The team at InterAction for Health and Human Rights is thrilled to welcome Kylie Bond as our new IPSA Coordinator. Her vision, lived experience, and commitment mark the start of a promising new chapter for Intersex Peer Support Australia.
Intersex Human Rights Australia and Intersex Peer Support Australia are uniting to form a new force for change: InterAction for Health and Human Rights. Folks may also wish to call us InterAction DownUnder, or just InterAction.
Unspoken is a collection of memories from intersex people in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand, recorded across two Intersex Peer Support Australia retreats in 2017.
Saturday 26 October is Intersex Awareness Day 2019, and we've got events, posters, videos, memes and more for you to share. We’ll update this page regularly in the lead up to the day itself. #iad2019
Ahead of the federal election on 18 May 2019, IHRA, AISSGA, Equality Australia, the National LGBTI Health Alliance, People with Disability Australia and others have identified key priorities for our populations and put questions to the major parties.
IHRA and AISSGA have collaborated on this NSW election issues paper, distributed to parties to the NSW Parliamentary Friendship Group for LGBTIQ People at the end of January.
This year's Health in Difference conference, organised by the National LGBTI Health Alliance, contained a set of presentations and workshops on intersex issues, by intersex people.
If you were born with an intersex variation/variation in sex characteristics and you live in Australia or Aotearoa/NZ, we invite you to express your interest in participating in the retreat by completing the EOI form below before Wednesday 21 February 2018.
Intersex Awareness Day events will take place across multiple capital cities in Australia this year, including Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, and Sydney. They include music, film screenings, talks and discussions.
OII Australia was pleased to participate alongside the AIS Support Group Australia held a breakfast and panel at Australia's federal Parliament House in Canberra on 19 October.
