- Submission on WHO Social Determinants of Health Report Card [October 2012]
Arguing that the 'social determinants' model is applicable to the health of LGBTI Australians. Sexuality and gender identity should be recognised as social determinants of health, alongside other determinants including Indigenous and ethnic status.
In this submission we point out the significant ommission of LGBTI people from the priority areas outlined in the Draft National Tobacco Strategy.
Emphasising that issues connected to palliative care significantly impact on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans/transgender, intersex community and on people living with HIV/AIDS and their carers and support networks

As a body concerned about the health of LGBTI people we are able to demonstrate that these communities need to be specifically recognised and respected in the context of Human Rights reform.
The significantly poorer health outcomes of LGBTI Australians as a group are largely due to discrimination and exclusion as key social determinants of health. The health issues, treatment options, and preventive health measures relating to the significant population of LGBTI Australians should become a priority in Australian health and medical research.
