The Department of Human Services (DHS) celebrates diversity and strives to improve the lives of all people. We want our services and workplaces to be safe and inclusive, and we are committed to supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer*, Asexual and other sexually, gender and bodily diverse (LGBTIQA+) South Australians.

DHS does this by:
• Funding community services and grants for LGBTIQA+ people
• Developing government policy that support LGBTIQA+ communities
• Ensuring that DHS is inclusive for all LGBTIQA+ people
• Supporting other government agencies to be more LGBTIQA+ inclusive
• Co-ordinating a Rainbow Email Network to share information about research, resources, events, grants and consultation opportunities.
* DHS recognises that some people will use terms other than LGBTIQA+, and that terms like “queer” will be seen as derogatory by some people, especially older community members. DHS respects the language that all people use to describe their gender, sexuality, or bodily diversity.
