Out, About and Connected ONLINE 2021

This podcast is an audio edit taken from Out, About and Connected ONLINE. 

An event for Lesbian/Bi+, Trans and Non-Binary people over the age of 50, presented by Switchboard Victoria’s Out & About program and Thorne Harbour Health in October 2021.

This online event brought together three in-person events that were unable to take place due to COVID-19, with participants joining from the South-West Coast, Gippsland, and Metro regions. The proceedings included welcomes by local leaders, an introduction to the new Commissioner for LGBTIQ+ Communities Todd Fernando, a panel discussion on ageing featuring a surprise poem by Joan Nestle, a short film, and some breakout rooms. A key driver for the events was to connect people with local services that are working to increase their inclusivity of, and safe service provision to Seniors within our communities.

Contact oaaevents@switchboard.org.au for more information on the orgs we worked with in the lead up to this event.

This was an Auslan-interpreted event.
