Working It Out

Working It Out is Tasmania's only service specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersex and transgender Tasmanians. They provide the following state-wide services:-

counselling and support for newly-identifying LGBTI people, or those experiencing difficulties relating to their sexual or gender identity;
they recruit, train and coordinate a peer support and mentoring network, the Bfriend program. With this, we offer support to those who are trying to "work it out" by linking them with people who have "worked it out"; and
they provide community education, professional development and training in the areas of gender identity and sexuality.
