LGBTIQA+ Settlement report – Forcibly Displaced People Network

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).
