Cancer Council has released Australia’s first dedicated cancer resource for LGBTQI+ communities — a landmark publication designed to improve support, visibility, and health outcomes for queer people affected by cancer.

In this Queer Conversation, LOTL speaks with Professor Jane Ussher and advocate Julie McCrossin about why this resource matters, the gaps it addresses, and how inclusive cancer care can transform the experiences of LGBTQI+ patients and their families. They discuss the research behind the booklet, the lived realities of LGBTQI+ people navigating cancer systems, and the urgent need for culturally safe, affirming care.

The booklet is available at: cancercouncil.com.au/lgbtqi  
For cancer‑related questions, contact Cancer Council on 13 11 20.


Queer Conversation features playlists for MUSIC, BOOKS, THEATRE, CONVERSATIONS and more.
