Here in Victoria, equality is not negotiable. And over the past three years, the Victorian Government has made important investments and improvements to make our state more fair and more inclusive.

The Government is supporting equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) Victorians.

What will the money be used for?

The Victorian Budget 2018/19 provides investments to:

Address current gaps in support for LGBTI Victorians

$3.4 million to address current gaps in support for LGBTI Victorians within our health care system.

Pride Events and Festivals Fund

$2 million to establish a Pride Events and Festivals Fund to deliver core LGBTI events in Victoria. As well as providing an opportunity for Victoria’s LGBTI community to come together and celebrate, these events are integral to promoting inclusion and fighting discrimination.
