The Andrews government will commit $15 million to the project, which is expected to be located in Melbourne’s CBD.  The planned centre will be bigger than San Francisco’s LGBT history and provide support services for the community.

The Premier is also set to commit over $5million to transgender health services.

The Andrews government has led the way in supporting LGBTI+ people. Victoria has committed to delivering the Safe Schools Coalition anti-bulling program in it’s original form and also appointed Australia’s first minister for Equality and Equality Commissioner.

  1. Fabulous! A great idea. I’ve seen and experienced homophobia from many sectors of the community, and also within the GLBT community. So, such a wonderful initiative like this will enable health and community and wider understanding in the widest sense. The proposed services look good and very relevant for many people. Wonderful! Well done!
