THH FRIDA Conference

Welcome to the Thorne Harbour Health FRIDA Conference 2024.

The conference provides an exciting opportunity for staff to share their areas of work, learn more about the various services/provisions we offer to the LGBTIQ+ community and people living with HIV, and network with each other. Our THH staff community is now at almost 170 staff, so we can’t wait to have the conference at Fitzroy Town Hall to accommodate everyone in the space.
