Status –CURRENT
This Australasian Journal on Ageing Special Issue aims to create more awareness of the experiences and needs of LGBTI older people. Historically older LGBTI people have been invisible, particularly in research on ageing as well as in policy and practice. Older LGBTI people are diverse, with different lived experiences across multiple communities, although what unites LGBTI people is a shared lived experience of discrimination.

The Sydney Women and Sexual Health (SWASH) survey is a comprehensive survey of important health issues relevant to lesbian, bisexual and queer (LBQ) women including sexual health and wellbeing, violence, mental health, tobacco use, illicit drug use, alcohol consumption, and cancer screening behaviours. SWASH is run by a collaboration of ACON Health and university researchers since 1996. This report presents results from surveys conducted at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day and other community events and venues during the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras seasons in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. It highlights several areas of particular concern – many of which have persisted over time – where mainstream preventive health interventions that are inclusive of this group or targeted to LBQ, are needed.
