Australia votes ‘yes’
The results of the marriage equality postal survey were announced earlier today, with nearly 62 per cent of eligible Australians – more than seven million people – voting for change.
The success of the 'yes' vote is a positive result for many staff, for our patients, and the wider LGBTIQA+ community.
We understand that in coming weeks the Federal Government will move to amend the Marriage Act. While politicians debate and discuss, and a range of views are heard, we will continue to offer assistance to those who need support.
