Have your organisation included in the GLBTIQ rural services guide
-
'Take Care OutBack There' is a state-wide sexual health project of Country Awareness Network, CAN. Its aim is to promote sexual health amongst rural and regional gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender Victorians.
We know that GLBTIQ people living in rural and regional Victoria do not always have the same access to social, support or health services as do our urban friends.
'Take Care OutBack There' is developing a resource guide/directory to help GLBTIQ people find services and social activities that are gay specific and/or gay friendly in rural and regional Victoria.

Written, acted, directed and produced by qualified primary and high school teachers, the play aims to break through the stereotypes and present a more balanced perspective of what constitutes a family.

Through the sharing of books and personal stories, games, songs and art the audience is treated to a lighthearted, funny and inspiring experience that promotes inclusion.
Written and produced by Danny Gibbins and directed by Yma Zammit-Ross.
