"Last week, the federal government announced a $10 million commitment to make
Medicare more inclusive for LGBTQIA+ Australians. It aims to improve their
access to “inclusive, culturally safe primary care” through training and
accreditation for GPs, nurses and other health-care providers.

The precise details will depend on which training provider wins the
government’s grant. But they will have a strong body of evidence to draw on,
which shows the challenges LGBTQIA+ people face in health care – and what it
would take to make mainstream services more inclusive."
