To take part you need to be at least 18 years old, self identify as being under the LGBQ umbrella, and be employed, or have been employed in the last two years, as a FIFO worker for mining company or associated services.

All interviews are completely confidential, if you’d like to take part get in touch with Lesley Brown, 0400 131 086 or email lbrown28@our.ecu.edu.au
