Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria is situated within ARCSHS. It was established in 2003 in consortium with Women’s Health Victoria and the Victorian AIDS Council, funded by the Victorian Department of Human Services.

Following the completion of the pilot project, in 2007 GLHV had its first year on recurrent funding.

The role of GLHV is “to enhance and promote the health and well being of GLBTI people in Victoria” by:

• establishing and implementing best practice standards of care
• training health care providers and health organisations about GLBTI health needs and appropriate service delivery
• developing health resources for GLBTI communities, in conjunction with mainstream services
• establishing a research and information clearinghouse as a resource for health care providers, researchers and individuals to use in researching their own health issues.
• providing advice to Government on the planning and development of future GLBTI programs.
