ACON

ACON is NSW’s leading LGBTQ health organisation, providing community health, inclusion and HIV responses for people of diverse sexualities and genders.

Established in 1985, their early years were defined by community coming together to respond to the HIV/ AIDS epidemic in NSW, and they remain committed to ending HIV for everyone in their communities. They do this by delivering campaigns and programs to eliminate new HIV transmissions. Supporting people living with HIV to live healthy and connected lives remains core to ACON's work.
