Better Together 2018 is a two-day national conference to be held at the Melbourne Town Hall in Victoria, Australia from 12 to 13 January 2018.
The conference will explore current issues facing the LGBTIQ movement, bringing together voices from women’s rights, indigenous rights, disability, the Deaf community, and multicultural and faith groups.
The goal is to create a truly intersectional discussion about achieving meaningful social change to create a fairer, more equal and more just Australia.
A number of pre-conference training sessions are being planned to help develop the capacity and skills of emerging leaders in the Australian LGBTIQ community. These will be held on 10th and 11th January 2018.
As part of Better Together 2018, the Australian Open is hosting an exclusive event on 12th January with tennis champion Billie Jean King.
