Now open: Australia’s largest LGBTIQA+ health and wellbeing survey!

https://tinyurl.com/PrivateLives4

If you’re LGBTIQA+ and 18+, take the survey now.

If you know any LGBTIQA+ folks, please share this post widely!

Private Lives 4 is the fourth iteration of this landmark survey, and we need LGBTIQA+ adults to tell us about their health, wellbeing, lives, challenges, joys and communities.

Results from this survey - funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing - will help inform policy, advocacy, service providers, health professionals and more about the needs, strengths and priorities of LGBTIQA+ adults in Australia.

Our major population surveys are the largest source of Australian data on the health and wellbeing of our communities, so we need as many people as possible to participate!
