Top transgender and intersex advocates refreshed their lobbying efforts in Canberra this week with a new report outlining the remaining priorities for some of Australia's most vulnerable minorities.
While the public's awareness of transgender issues continues to grow, one transgender advocate said there was still a disparity in legal recognition and access to public services.
The Diversity in Health report was launched Tuesday night in Canberra with the Parliamentary Friends of LGBTI Australians.
Almost 20 diverse sex and gender (DSG) advocates across Australia gathered in June for a roundtable discussion about the future reforms needed for the report.
It consolidated the existing priorities into five key areas: identity recognition, health care, legal protection, better health and education services, and more local research.
