Newcastle information session: LGBTQA conversion practices ban and the role of Anti-Discrimination NSW
Description
Anti-Discrimination NSW is hosting a free information session in Newcastle.
This is an opportunity for community workers and service providers to learn more about Anti-Discrimination NSW and the services it provides under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 .
The session will also cover the Conversion Practices Ban Act 2024, which prohibits LGBTQA conversion practices in NSW and creates criminal offences for delivering or arranging conversion practices and a civil complaints scheme which will be administered by Anti-Discrimination NSW. Conversion practices – sometimes referred to as ‘gay conversion’ practices or ‘conversion therapy’ – are harmful practices which seek to change or suppress an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
Join Mia Zahra (A/Director, Anti-Discrimination NSW), Gillian Stokie (Manager, Communications and Engagement) and Claire Williams (Community Engagement Officer) from Anti-Discrimination NSW for this session.
