Know Your Rights: HIV, Law and Migration

Learn to navigate HIV related legal and migration frameworks in Australia.

Know Your Rights builds on Living Positive Victoria’s guide to legal issues in Victoria and the HIV/AIDS Legal Centre’s Positive Migration Guide.

At this workshop you will:

  • Learn about legal and anti-discrimination frameworks related to HIV, disclosure and transmission in Victoria
  • Get practical information about Australian visas and migration with HIV
  • Find out about how to access legal support and services
  • Share and hear about the experiences of other people living with HIV

As this is the first time we will be running Know Your Rights you will be helping us to evaluate and improve the workshop.

The workshop ends with a lunch at 1pm.

HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day 2024

Who’s a long term survivor? Anyone diagnosed with HIV before 1996 when effective treatment or combination therapy appeared on the scene.

Hear from long term survivors tell their story and learn how they took on the challenges of living with HIV in the 80s and 90s with their determination and resilience.
