In the present scenario, specifically from the last two decades this is understand that
today Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender comes at younger age. Also various individual
and public community started to support issues related with LGBT. But due to culture factors it
is complex for youth to improve their mental health and it refers that protective factor are low for
LGBT community due to which the existing healthcare aspects of population is low. In context
of Australia, implementation of equal opportunities and healthcare policies, the sexual identity of
LGBT exists at risk. Poor health and well-being are the two major issue which is related with
health status of population. Public health cost on different health disadvantage as sexual identity
within Australia create problems for individual to revisit the places because of inappropriate
sexual minorities between population (Gates, Russell, & Gainsburg,(2016). In order to
understand current health of population all minority stress model is poses to minimise issue
related with stigmatisation and discrimination. Equality and freedom are the rights of an each
individual who exists and also Sex discrimination act, 1984 formulate and induce legal rights to
person that demonstrate this is unlawful to discriminate a person on basis of their gender,
intersex and identity. But still Lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender-health person or group face
discrimination and hostility that generate suicide and other negative factor within country.
