Položaj LGBT osoba u Australiji

Australija se smatra generalno tolerantnom prema LGBT populaciji. Istopolni odnosi su federalnom nivou legalni od 1994. godine, a gradjanska partnerstva u priznata donošenjem zakona o istopolnim zajednicama,19.Novembra 2001. godine. Važeći ustav iz 2003. godine eksplicitno zabranjuje diskriminaciju na osnovu seksualne orijentacije i rodnog identiteta. Moguće je usvajanje dece od strane istopolnih parova, ukoliko je dete jednog od partnera/partnerke. Istopolni brak je, međutim, izričito zabranjen federalnim zakonom od 2004. godine.

U Australiji se godišnje održavaju dve zvanične parade ponosa: Sidney Pride (od 1996. godine] i Melbourne Pride [od 2000. godine].

Glavne LGBT organizacije u Australiji su Cwatch Show Centar, Lambda, GL Iniciality i Pink Boys.
