Submission to ACT Health master-planning consultation for Canberra Hospital

Meridian welcomes the opportunity to respond to the revising of the Work Health and Safety (Sexual Services Industry) Code of Practice.

Meridian commends the ACT government on its leadership in banning conversion practice and supports the government’s intention to make clear to practitioners, service providers and the community that these harmful practices are not to be offered in the ACT. Meridian supports the introduction and passage of legislation to assist in the consideration of complaints in this area. Meridian is pleased to make the following submission with regards to the proposed ban.

Meridian is pleased to make this submission to Equality Australia. The Council supports the law reform to remove direct and indirect discrimination against LGBTIQ people in the Australian Capital Territory. In considering the key questions we think it is important to frame our response around six priority areas relevant to the issues and communities we support and represent.
