Throughout the Advocate for Children and Young People’s (ACYP) ongoing consultations with young people in New South Wales, and through regular, quantitative research, ACYP recognised that LGBTQIA+ young people experience particular vulnerabilities and poorer outcomes across a variety of measures.

This report includes findings from a large-scale qualitative consultation focused on the experiences of LGBTQIA+ young people. It reflects their voices and their articulated needs. The report also compares outcomes for LGBTQIA+ young people to their non-LGBTQIA+ peers within the findings of ACYP’s annual quantitative Strategic Plan Tracking Survey 2022.
