Capital of Equality Strategy 2024-2029
Summary
The new Capital of Equality Strategy 2024-2029 builds on the achievements in the past 5 years.
While much progress has been achieved, there is more to do for LGBTIQA+ equality in the ACT. To do this, the new strategy focuses on 4 goals:
- promoting awareness
- improving services
- advancing legal reforms
- supporting resilient LGBTIQA+ communities.
