The Better Together Podcast contains recordings from Australia's LGBTIQA+ Conference, the Better Together Conference, presented by The Equality Project.In order to facilitate a conversation about LGBTIQ+ rights in Australia we need to have a platform to share our ideas and experiences and build bridges between our diverse communities. The Equality Project does this through a national conference called Better Together. To ensure the Better Together Conference remains accessible for the wider Rainbow Community, JOY has recorded and produced as many sessions as possible from the conferences, bringing you this podcast.

2021: Navigating Peer Support in an Isolated Community

Welcome to the 2021 Better Together Conference Podcast. Recorded live at the Adelaide Convention Centre on the 18th and 19th of June, 2021. These sessions were proudly recorded and produced by JOY 94.9.
This session will look at how our service has looked to help community members find connection in the face of isolation, how we adapted to the sudden changes brought about by COVID-19, as well as the solutions we have implemented in facing these challenges.
Participants will gain a better understanding of the impact that COVID-19 brought upon trans & gender diverse community members in South Australia, and how services such as the Gender Wellbeing Service and Gender Connect Country SA have adapted to meet those needs. Participants would walk away with more ideas regarding the support of isolated trans and gender diverse community members.
Speakers: Kaidan Dibbins (Peer Worker, Shine SA), Brynn McAveney (Senior Peer Support Worker with Gender Connect Country SA)
