May 17 marked IDAHOBIT Day the International Day Against LGBTIQA+ Discrimination.

IDAHOBIT Day has two main purposes. It provides an opportunity to celebrate the pride and allyship of the people who have worked to build equality around the world.

It also aims to raise awareness of the discrimination LGBTIQA+ people still face today.

To mark the day, Adelaide PHN hosted an IDAHOBIT morning tea, where our Rainbow Working Group members spoke about the day’s importance and shared personal stories with our staff.

We also displayed the Progress Flag, and staff had an opportunity to donate funds to Trans Femme SA - a community-led social group aimed at those who identify as feminine but were not assigned female at birth.

At Adelaide PHN, we celebrate diversity and are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for everyone. We are committed to being part of the journey to making the world a safe and accepting place.
