Champions for LGBTQIA+ Youth
Australia's charity improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ young people.
Awareness & Visibility
2 in 3 LGBTQIA+ youth still experience abuse for being who they are. Our campaigns start crucial conversations to amplify the voice of the next generation.
LGBTQIA+ Education
Creating an Australia free from discrimination is up to us all. Our LGBTQIA+ training, workshops and resources enable others to champion inclusivity, no matter their location.
Life-Affirming Programs
Our preventive model of mental health support tackles social isolation through spaces where LGBTQIA+ youth belong and by empowering the next generation of leaders.

Wondering what non-binary actually means? Here's what you need to know.
Bisexual, pansexual – they're similar, they're different, and both totally valid identities.
Crappy myths about being bi like "you're just confused" or "greedy" or more likely to cheat – we're 100% busting them, right now.
Acclaimed queer, non-binary writer and activist Nevo Zisin explores the ways identities can change over time.
