Thorne Harbour Health has a long, rich and diverse history, working with and for LGBTI communities and people living with HIV. Founded on 12 July 1983 as the Victorian AIDS Action Committee, the organisation has led the community response to the rising HIV/AIDS epidemic in Victoria and beyond. Today, Thorne Harbour Health remains committed to the community response to HIV while also supporting the health and wellbeing of LGBTI communities more broadly.

Thorne Harbour recognises our past by paying tribute to community leaders like Alison Thorne and Keith Harbour but also our community’s legacy of bravery, commitment, imagination, and vision —now and into the future.
