On this episode of The Informer we look at data released this week which shows that we are not doing enough to combat the rates of HIV transmission in our Indigenous communities.

We find out about The Channels new round of Grants for Diverse storytelling, offering 4 grants of $2,500 for projects that support members of #LGBTIQ+ communities in Australia to tell their stories or have their voices heard.

And we find out how Drag helped Madalyn Mckenzie realise her true self as a transgender woman, as she returns to the spotlight at the recent Cancer is a Drag Fundraiser.

This episode of The Informer aired on JOY 94.9 & was hosted by Tom Morgan.
