Abstract
This Australasian Journal on Ageing Special Issue is a beginning" while it is a significant achievement milestone (the first of its kind in Australian and New Zealand) it is not the definitive work on LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex) ageing and aged care in Australia. It aims to create more awareness of the experiences and needs of LGBTI older people. Historically older LGBTI people have been invisible, particularly in research on ageing as well as in policy and practice. Older LGBTI people are diverse, with different lived experiences across multiple communities, although what unites LGBTI people is a shared lived experience of discrimination.
