Living Positive Victoria (People Living with HIV/AIDS Victoria Inc) is a community-based organisation that works to advance the human rights and wellbeing of people living with HIV. Vision: Living Positive Victoria shares the vision of the National Association of People with HIV Australia of a world where people living with HIV live their lives to their full potential, in good health and free from discrimination. Mission: To enable and empower all people affected by and living with HIV in Victoria to be part of the response that seeks an end to the HIV epidemic. Values:
Dignity โ We are proud of who we are, where we have come from, and the path we are leading. Innovation โ We are agile in our responsiveness to the needs of our community, effecting change from within. Respect โ We respect and support our membersโ autonomy over their individual life-decisions and experiences. Diversity โ We support, and in turn are strengthened by, our communityโs diversity and their confidence to express it in all aspects of life. Living Positive Victoria is a not for profit, community based organisation representing all people living with HIV in Victoria since 1988 and is committed to the advancement of human rights and wellbeing of all people living with HIV. In response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, Living Positive Victoria was created as a safe place to provide support and advocate those living with virus. The demand for services increased over the years and the organisation has now grown to a team of 16 individuals providing workshops, peer-support and activities that increase the mental, emotional and social wellbeing of those living with, or affected by HIV. Living Positive Victoria also works closely in partnership with a range of HIV-sector and other organisations to deliver a comprehensive and coordinated response to the needs of PLHIV in Victoria, nationally and internationally. Living Positive Victoriaโs services reach a member base of more than 1,600 individuals, their partners and family members and their families across all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, and sexual identities. Living Positive Victoria is an Australian, incorporated association and registered Australian Charity for taxation purposes.
