Perth LGBTI Advisory Committee

The Perth LGBTI Advisory Committee was a group of 17 young people from metropolitan Perth aged from 16 to 20 years.

These dedicated young people worked with the Commissioner and alongside the Bunbury Senior High School Advisory Committee to explore solutions to improve the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or intersex young people in WA. 

Their commitment and enthusiasm throughout the year resulted in a number of achievements, including producing four video resources, delivering seminars, and potentially impacting the Government’s direction in law reforms and strategies aiming to improve outcomes for LGBTI people in the state. 

The Commissioner will continue to encourage organisations to use the resources and use the feedback and work of the committees to further advocate on the needs and experiences of LGBTI children and young people in WA.
