Detention harms children. The Royal Children’s Hospital has long advocated that children should not be held in detention. We stand with our colleagues at the Academy of Child and Adolescent Health (ACAH) and support its statement released today that the issue must be resolved as a matter of urgency. Detention harms children – and this protracted dispute is doing even more damage to these young lives.
To read the full statement from the ACAH visit the link in our bio!

The Good Practice Guide outlines the ways in which school communities can be proactive in gender-inclusive practice, and how they can best support transgender and gender diverse students!

This is not a procedural manual! But rather it sets out guiding principals and important considerations for school staff for gender inclusive practice.

Produced by the ACT Safe and Inclusive Schools Initiative with collaboration by Sexual Health and Family Planning ACT and A Gender Agenda.

You can read the guide and find out more info at https://saisact.info/index.php/sais-downloads/72-supporting-students-affirming-gender-at-school

Transcend Australia send our best wishes and warme

Transcend Australia send our best wishes and warmest thanks to the departing Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQ+ Communities, Ro Allen.

Ro has been an incredible champion for LGBTIQ+ communities in Victoria and whilst we're sad to see them go from this role, we know they will always be there for our community and we wish them all the very best in their new role as the Victorian Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commissioner.

We know wherever Ro goes, they'll bring us with them.

We'd also like to send our best wishes to Ro's wife Kaye and daughter Alex. Behind every great person, are other incredible people and we send our love and thanks to them also.

Thanks for everything Ro. You've been a guiding, unifying light and supported us through some hard times. You've been a deep listener, a mover and shaker, a calm voice and a believer in and creator of big possibilities, that often become reality.

It's not goodbye. We'll see you on the road 🌈
