The aim of the Youth Sexuality and Gender Diversity Network (YSGDN) is to strengthen supports and services for young people aged 12–25 in the ACT, who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and/or intersex (GLBTI); and raise the profile of GLBTIQ youth issues in the ACT.

The objectives of the YSGDN are to:

• Identify, examine and raise the profile of issues affecting GLBTI young people in the ACT;
• Improve the capacity of the youth, schools, AOD, mental health, family support, accommodation and community sectors to better support and engage GLBTI young people in the ACT;
• Provide opportunities for workers in these sectors to be informed of GLBTI youth issues; and,
• Provide networking and collaboration opportunities for individuals with a shared interest in progressing GLBTI youth issues.
