About the Project

The Plan was developed in close collaboration with Council’s LGBTIQA+ Advisory Committee, with input from our community through consultation.

As the closest level of government to the community, Council has an important role in celebrating diversity, encouraging social inclusion and ensuring equity, safety and access across Monash for everyone, regardless of sexuality, sex characteristics or gender identity.
