South Australian Police (SAPOL) recently launched a revised LGBTIQA+ Strategy which includes updates to the LGBTIQA+ Liaison Officer Program.

Thorne Harbour Health was one of the organisations consulted in developing this strategy alongside SA Rainbow Advocacy Alliance, SHINE SA, and The Equality Project - Australia.

We’re hopeful that this strategy helps SAPOL better understand the needs of our diverse communities in South Australia and respond appropriately.

Over the holiday season, SAMESH will be closed Wed 24 Dec to Mon 5 Jan, with Rapid HIV Testing restarting from Fri 30 Jan.

While the holidays can be a time of joy, they can also be challenging for some LGBTIQ+ people. If you need support during this period, we encourage you to reach out to Switchboard and their QLife service.
