Back To the Main SiteACT Social Plan Consulation
The ACT Government is currently conducting a community consultation which may interest members of A Gender Agenda and NewCTN.
“The ACT Government would like your input into the update of the 2004 Canberra Social Plan.
The 2004 Canberra Social Plan has a vision that Canberra is a place “where all people reach their potential, make a contribution and share the benefits of the community”.
The ACT Government is again seeking community views to help shape the next stage of the Territory’s Social Plan. We invite you to join the conversation. “
I’d strongly encourage anyone with a bit of time to sign up for the forums and start waxing eloquent about the needs of the trans, intersex and genderqueer populations of Canberra. The more voices that speak up, the better. We gain visibility, not only within government departments, but also in the wider community as other non-LGBT members of the Canberra region read our responses.
Possible things you could consider bringing up:
- The need for crisis accommodation for sex and gender diverse people
- The need for a safe non-commercial social space for sex and gender diverse people to meet
- The lack of trained medical professionals in general, and specifically ones aware of sex and gender diverse issues
- The need for funded sex and gender diverse organisations, run by and for sex and gender diverse people
- The need for a program that targets innovative social enterprises and provides them with support that allows them to more effectively service the community.
