This is the web site of the Gay and Lesbian Immigration Task Force, (GLITF NSW Inc.) based in New South Wales, Australia. There are similar organizations in other Australian states.
The primary aim of GLITF is to assist the foreign partners of Australian lesbians and gay men to migrate to Australia. We do that by:
-
Providing information and advice relating to Partner Migration for gay and lesbian couples;
-
Working with politicians and public servants to build understanding of the partner migration laws and how they affect gay and lesbian couples;
-
Lobbying to improve the migrations laws to assist more gay and lesbian couples to stay together.
-
Providing updates about changes to migration legislation and policy that would impact the gay and lesbian community.

GLITF is a voluntary non-profit organization. Our registered migration agents all work on a voluntary pro bono basis and receive no income from GLITF. We receive no Government funding. We do not accept sponsorships. We rely on membership fees and sales of our Partner Migration booklet to cover our expenses.
We gladly accept donations. |

This is a project undertaken by Peter de Waal which was completed in 2003, which traces the history of GLITF in Australia.
