NDCH was proud to host the Comedy Roadshow Night in Kerang in support of IDAHOBIT Day 🌈

As a rural community health organisation, we recognise that inclusion, safety and respect are essential to good health and wellbeing. No one should ever feel invisible, unsafe or unwelcome because of who they are or who they love.

We support IDAHOBIT day because visibility matters. It’s about showing our community, that diversity is our strength and that everyone belongs.

IDAHOBIT Day is held each year on May 17, standing against LGBTQIA+ discrimination and celebrating inclusion for all 💜
