"Considerable progress was made in priority areas that had been worked on for some time. In the short space of a year, the Alliance has grown from three part-time positions to 5 full-time and one part-time position, and has become involved in many new areas of health promotion for LGBTI Australians", Paul Martin said.

Highlights of 2011 included:

- MindOUT! Mental Health and Suicide Prevention project secures significant funding ($1.1m)

- Funding helps to expand staffing resources

- Involvement in supporting the first 'Parlimentary Friends of LGBTI' event in Canberra.

- The LGBTI Ageing Roundtable

- Contribution to DoHA LGBTI Working Group

"None of these achievements would have been possible without the continual input and support of our Members, through serving on the Board and various Working Groups, and helping with research and submissions", Martin said. "We look forward to building on these achievements in the year ahead", he added.
