QPP would like to acknowledge the importance of our diverse PLHIV communities as they shape the principles that underpin the work we do. The lived experience and peer contributions of PLHIV remains always at the centre of who we are at QPP. We would like to take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us and laid the foundations for QPP and the sector - we remember the courage and sacrifice of many and we will continue to work towards a world where people with HIV live lives to their full potential, in good health and free from discrimination.

This season of SNACK has been produced by Queensland Positive People as part of the COTA Queensland Consortium Home Care Workforce Support Program which received grant funding from the Australian Government.
