FMSS Votes YES

Flinders Medical Students’ Society is proud to support marriage equality. 

Protecting equal human rights is a very real health issue; and one we each encounter through our own lens. LGBTIQ+ individuals experience higher levels of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and self-harm compared with the general population. 

Marriage equality is an important step toward overcoming harmful systemic inequity and oppression; we can, each of us, contribute to dismantling discrimination, and fostering the good, community-wide mental health outcomes we strive for in our personal and professional lives.

For all of our LGBTIQ+ friends, family, colleagues, and patients; FMSS VOTES YES.

FMSS acknowledge the land that we meet and study on as being the traditional lands of the Kaurna (SA) and Larrakia (NT) people since time immemorial and that they never ceded sovereignty. We pay our respects to past, present and emerging Kaurna and Larrakia elders and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today. We also acknowledge the traditional custodians of all other Nations where Flinders students study and live.
