Acon Health Limited
About
ACON is New South Wales' leading HIV and LGBTQ+ health organisation, founded in 1985 during the HIV/AIDS crisis. It provides health services, community programs, and conducts research supporting LGBTQ+ communities, with particular focus on First Nations LGBTQA+ people, sistergirls and brotherboys, and LBQ+ women. The organisation operates the Sydney Women and Sexual Health (SWASH) Survey, a long-running research initiative on LBQ+ women's health.
Giving Philosophy
ACON approaches its work through a community-led, evidence-based lens, prioritising health equity and addressing health disparities within LGBTQ+ populations. It values partnerships with community organisations and projects that centre the voices of marginalised groups within the LGBTQ+ community, particularly First Nations peoples.
Tips for Applicants
Align proposals with ACON's stated health priorities for LGBTQ+ communities, demonstrate strong community engagement and involvement of target populations, and emphasise evidence-based approaches to health outcomes.
