Service User Reference Group (SURG)
As part of Meridian’s work with the Canberra Inclusive Partnership (CIP), Meridian coordinates a Service User Reference Group (SURG) to provide advice and input on the provision of our services. Our CIP agencies include Northside Community Service, A Gender Agenda (AGA) and Sexual Health and Family Planning ACT (SHFPACT).
LGBTIQ+ Business & Community Directory
In partnership with Canberra’s local LGBTIQ+ publication Fuse Magazine, the Canberra Inclusive Partnership has produced a handy guide to help our community connect with many vital services, social groups, and local businesses. Free copies are available at Meridian or from any of our partners and participating businesses. The directory can be found here.
