What’s kept Adelaide’s LGBTIQ+ communities busy this year, and what advocacy work is there left to do?

We head to Adelaide’s Picnic in the Park to hear from community health organisations and sport groups:

• Anne Bainbridge, CEO at Youth Affairs Council of South Australia (YACSA)
• Tamsin Anspach from Rainbow Labor SA
• Brett McAlone, Community Engagement Officer at the SA Rainbow Advocacy Alliance
• Brendan, President of the Adelaide Dolphins

We also head to GEAR’d Adelaide to chat in with Storm, Vic and Miss Behavin about the event and more broadly our leather, kink, and fetish communities.

Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health & wellbeing.

If there’s something you’d like us to explore on the show, send through ideas or questions at wellwellwell@joy.org.au

Find out more about LGBTIQ+ services and events in Victoria at Thorne Harbour Health and in South Australia at SAMESH.
