In October 2010, the Australian Human Rights Commission launched a consultation regarding the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people in Australia. This consultation process sought views from affected individuals and organisations about the steps that they felt would provide better human rights protection for LGBTI people in Australia. The consultation focussed on the experience of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and sex and/or gender identity and how protection from this kind of discrimination could be included in federal law.

This report summarises the broad range of views heard during the consultation.
