The country's first national not-for-profit LGBTIQ+ legal advocacy group has been launched, one year after the passing of Australia's marriage equality legislation.


Equality Australia says it wants to make sure no Australian is discriminated against for being who they are.

Funded by money left over from the campaign pushing for the "yes" vote in last year's postal survey, the new legal not-for-profit will be staffed by members of the LGBTQI+ community.

Equality Australia C-E-O, Anna Brown, says the fight for equality is not over.
