- provide $2.5 million per year ongoing, not indexed ($25 million over the medium term) for departments and agencies to develop reference or advisory groups on portfolio issues that impact LGBTIQA+ communities
- ensure that all services that receive government funding, including health and social services, agree to anti-discrimination measures
- provide $1 million per year ongoing, not indexed ($10 million over the medium term) to fund community groups and organisations to ensure they can influence policy and priorities effectively. Departmental expenses would be included within the capped amount.
