The South Australian Minister for Social Inclusion, Ian Hunter (pictured), has announced a new LGBTIQ strategy will be developed for the state.

"We're committed to fostering a community that supports, values and includes all South Australians," Hunter said.

"As a foundation for this we've released a survey for LGBTIQ people and we're also establishing an advisory council to tackle issues important to people in that community.

"The Rainbow Advisory Council is an opportunity for LGBTIQ South Australians to participate in discussions and provide advice on policies, programs, services and processes within Government."

The Department for Social Inclusion is searching for 16 members from the LGBTIQ community to join the advisory council.
