The Indigenous Gay and Transgender Steering Committee was established in response to one of the major recommendations of the 1994 Anwernekenhe Report (Anwernekenhe means ‘us mob’ in the Arrernte language and is used with full permission).

This Report was the primary document to come out of the first and historic Indigenous Gay Men and Transgender Sexual Health Conference held in late 1994 on Arrernte country at Hamilton Downs in the Northern Territory, 75 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs.

This Report and Strategy document the reality of HIV for Indigenous gay men and transgender persons, and  have shaped AFAO’s ongoing response to the needs of Indigenous Australians over the past seven years.
