Between 2017 and 2020, several national surveys of LGBTQA+ people across Australia were conducted by the Telethon Kids Institute and by ARCSHS. These included:

  • Trans Pathways: a study of gender diverse young people and their mental health and care pathways
  • Private Lives 3: a study of health and wellbeing among LGBTQ+ adults (aged 18+)
  • Writing Themselves In 4: a study of health and wellbeing among LGBTQA+ young people (aged 14-21)

Each of these studies heard from some LGBTQA+ people who were also Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. In order to highlight their specific and unique experiences, this project sought to draw together the responses from these LGBTQA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Findings from these responses are presented in a series of factsheets.

This factsheet explores intimate relationships and family support amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQA+ participants in Writing Themselves In 4 and Private Lives 3.
