Rainbow Families is preparing a report into discrimination LGBTIQ parents face when accessing Federal Government services and they want to hear from you.

Do you have an experience with Medicare, applying for a passport, adoption and fostering, ART, surrogacy, and the census. Then you can add your voice and be a part of advocating for changes on these important issues that affect LGBTIQ parents and their families.

Dean Arcuri and Tom Morgan speak to Cathy from Rainbow Families, to find out about what it takes to add your voice to help make change for Rainbow Families.

Rainbow Families survey is a follow-up to Rainbow Families NSW consultation with our community about their experiences with state government services.

Rainbow Families are looking at the experiences of our community interacting with Federal Government services and departments and if you would like to add your voice to this, head to rainbowfamilies.com.au/advocacy
