Introducing Thorne Harbour Health

Health, HIV, Sex & Sexuality, Society & Culture

At their 35th Anniversary event on Saturday 7 July, the Victorian AIDS Council (VAC) announced they have changed their name to Thorne Harbour Health. As Australia’s oldest HIV/AIDS charity and one of the country’s largest LGBTI health organisations, this change has prompted a lot of interest from our gender, sex, and sexuality diverse communities.

Thorne Harbour Health’s President Chad Hughes along with longstanding LGBTI community advocates and fellow Thorne Harbour Health Board members, Janet Jukes and Jim Hyde, join Well, Well, Well’s Cal Hawk in studio to discuss this decision and answer some of the questions and concerns voiced by the community following this announcement.

You can watch the clip about Thorne Harbour Health here.

This show, Episode #627 originally aired Thursday 12th July, 2018.
