Presenting at Better Together 2019

Presenting at Better Together 2019

My first presentation of the year will be in Sydney on 12 January at #BetterTogether2019, run by The Equality Project which is a new national organisation bringing together LGBTIQ+ people with allies across the social justice movement, to advocate for a better, more just, and fairer society for all. 
The conference aims to explore current issues facing the LGBTIQ+ movement, bringing together voices from indigenous communities, people with a disability, the deaf community, as well as multicultural and multi-faith communities.  
My presentation will be about surrogacy.  I will be presenting with renowned fertility counsellor and psychologist Miranda Montrone.  Miranda, who is based in Sydney, has been a fertility counsellor for over 30 years.  She is one of the leading surrogacy counselling experts in Australia and has written many pre-signing and post birth surrogacy reports.  A client of mine who with his wife attended upon Miranda for a report, said that Miranda was a credit to her profession.  My client was also a psychologist.
Details for the conference are here.
The conference will be held at UTS
