The Organisation
  
Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF) is Australia’s longest running HIV charity.  Founded in 1984, BGF provides emotional, financial and practical support to people living with HIV (PLHIV).  HIV treatment has come a long way since the eighties, but with a diverse new generation of PLHIV facing stigma reminiscent of the 80s, the need for support remains strong.
  
BGF works to change social attitudes around HIV, to reduce fear, discrimination and stigma and promote acceptance and understanding, working also at a systemic level to influence policy and service development.
