Advocates will seek a meeting with new health minister, Susan Ley, to outline the link between exclusion from marriage and poorer mental health outcomes.

Australian Marriage Equality national convener, Rodney Croome, said,

“We congratulate Sussan Ley on her appointment as Health Minister and look forward to showing her the compelling evidence linking exclusion from marriage with poorer mental health outcomes.”

“Over the passed few months Ms Ley has received strong support for marriage equality from within her electorate.”

“The health case for marriage equality will provide her with further encouragement to support the reform.”
