Diverse genders, bodies and sexualities

LGBTQIASB+ resources

Overview

People who have diverse genders, bodies, and sexualities are disproportionately impacted by alcohol and other drug use; and are a priority population within AOD policy and service settings. This toolkit contains links to recommended online training, webinars, websites, tools and resources to assist workers to better support this community.

We use the term ‘diverse genders, bodies, and sexualities’ to encompass the many identities traditionally captured by variations of the acronym LGBTQIASB+. By using this term, we aim to be more inclusive and to recognise the rich diversity within people who identify with these communities.

Note: ‘LGBTQIASB+’ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning, Intersex, Asexual and Agender, Sistergirl, and Brotherboy, with the ‘+’ representing identities not adequately captured within the acronym.
