Georges River is home to a range of diverse communities. We value our strong relationship with those who live, visit, play, and work in our local government area. This includes the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Agender, Asexual and Ally (LGBTQIA+) communities in Georges River. 

We have built relationships with local organisations. We have consulted with the community and work to end discrimination. Our goal is to provide a safe environment for everyone.
 

Welcome Here  

We pride ourselves in being a Safe Place by supporting the Welcome Here Project.

This project supports organisations across Australia. It aims to create and promote welcoming and inclusive environments. We encourage local businesses to register.
 

Pride Month  

We support local initiatives to celebrate Pride Month events in June each year. We've celebrated with rainbow pride flags, banners, a rainbow crossing, and rainbow lighting. We celebrated Rainbow Storytime and supported the LGBTQIA+ Forum. This was for staff working with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse clients. It's part of our commitment to Pride Month.
 

LGBTQIA+ Resources   

• The Multicultural LGBTQIA + Support Directory contains LGBTQIA+ information for cultural, religious and sporting groups.

• HangOUT is an online social space offered by Twenty10 for LGBTQIA+ people aged 13 to 25 living in NSW.

 

​Grants and Sponsorship  

We offer grants and sponsorship programs. These programs encourage community organisations to partner with us. This way, we can address the community's needs more effectively. If you provide a service for local LGBTQIA+ communities, you might qualify for funding. Please visit our Community Grants page for more information.
