Supporting IDAHOBIT Day

17 May 2022 marked IDAHOBIT Day, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia.

Adelaide PHN is committed to creating a safe and inclusive culture for our staff and wider community. To show our support for IDAHOBIT, we hosted a rainbow morning tea, with warmly welcomed guest speaker, Zac Cannell (he/him), Founder of Trans Health SA and Trans Masc SA. Zac shared his own personal journey and spoke to the importance of inclusive language, pronouns, and LGBTIQA+ safety and inclusion in workplace environments.

Staff showed their support on the day by collectively donating $270! We’ve provided a message from Zac below -

“That’s incredible! Thank you so much! I’d like to use the funds to pay a community member to reformat the Practitioner List to make it more readable and go over all the numbers and names to ensure currency.”

To support Zac’s messaging, Adelaide PHN’s donation will entirely go to Trans Health SA, specifically to update the SA Practitioners List. To learn more about the importance of IDAHOBIT Day, please visit idahobit.org.au.
