The 2022 report, “Inhabiting Two Worlds At Once,” is the first comprehensive Australia-wide survey capturing the experiences of LGBTIQA+ forcibly displaced people.
The aim of this survey was to collect information about the experiences and barriers faced by LGBTIQA+ forcibly displaced people in Australia to advocate for more welcoming and inclusive support. The collected data will be used to push for better support for LGBTIQA+ forcibly displaced people because, as LGBTIQA+ displaced individuals, we remain unseen and unheard in Australia, where we deserve equal opportunities to call this country home.
The development of the survey was funded by the ACT Government Office of LGBTIQ+ Affairs, and parts of the analysis were supported by the Department of Home Affairs. The ethical aspects of this research have been approved by the ANU Human Research Ethics Committee (Protocol 2022/326).

Data presented in this report are drawn from a larger project investigating the health and welfare of Australia’s refugee and humanitarian entrant populations (AIHW 2023a). This larger project was funded by the Department of Home Affairs and involved linking the Settlement Database (Department of Home Affairs 2019) with other datasets available in the Person-level Integrated Data Asset (PLIDA); formally known as the Multi Agency Data Integration Project (MADIP) (ABS n.d.). Linking the Settlement Database to the PLIDA enabled the identification and analysis of migrant status for deidentified individuals appearing within other PLIDA datasets
Many refugee women and women seeking asylum arrive in high-income countries with unmet preventive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care needs. Primary healthcare providers (HCPs) are usually refugee and asylum seekers’ first point of care. This study aimed to identify HCP characteristics associated with initiating conversations and discussing SRH opportunistically during other health interactions.
