OUT FOR LOVE

We're tired of young LGBTQIA+ voices being silenced and excluded from conversations and decisions that directly impact them. So, we’re doing something about it.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

OUT FOR LOVE REPORT

Earlier this year, we ran a nationwide survey in partnership with Minus18 – passing the mic to our LGBTQIA+ friends and allies, to have their say on issues affecting LGBTQIA+ people in Australia. We had almost 4,000 responses, which will help to inform future Minus18 programs and focus areas, and to support them in their life affirming work for queer young people.
