Our speakers for the evening:

Laura McLeod
Originally hailing from the streets of Brisbane, Laura Mcleod is a provisionally registered Clinical Psychologist studying at James Cook University, Cairns. Her previous research has focused on the complex topic of communicating sexual consent, causing no end of interesting banter/awkward coughing at polite dinner parties. Current her research is focused on the helpful and unhelpful experiences of transgender and non-binary clients seeking psychological support in rural and remote areas of Queensland. Previous research indicates that there is a growing number of people seeking support for non-binary gender identification and a lack of supportive practice in the psychological community.

Brett Mooney
Brett says: I am Murray Islander from the Torres Straits, I have live here in Brisbane for 12 years, 10 of which I have spent working for the 2Spirits Program. 2Spirits delivers SexualHealth Promotion to Gay Men, Bisexual Men, and Sister Girls throughout the state of Queensland. In my spare time I enjoy maintaining my culture and collecting or creating opportunistic moments.

Miranda Sparks
