Online gay community
We foster partnerships with an extensive range of mental health and community sector services, healthcare providers (including hospitals), early childhood training providers, primary and secondary schools, as well as local government child and family, youth, and aged care services and programs.
At Queerspace, we are passionate to promoting LGBTIQA+ inclusion and celebrating the diversity of gender, age, race, faith, and abilities. Our Carlton location is engineered with inclusivity in brain, featuring all-gender bathrooms, ramps, an elevator, and available meeting rooms equipped with hearing loops. Additionally, translating services can be arranged upon request at all of our sites.
We are honoured to house some of Victoria’s most prominent LGBTIQA+ community advocacy groups, such as Transgender Victoria and Inclusive Rainbow Voices, at our Queerspace headquarters located at 100 Drummond Street, Carlton. With multiple locations spread throughout Victoria, we strive to craft Queerspace an accessible and welcoming space for all.

We are The 519,your collective centre. And together, there’s no going backwards.
For nearly 50 years, we’ve relentlessly fought alongside our communities, advocating for our rights and building a enhanced world for 2SLGBTQ+ people.We’ve been by your side, fighting inch by painstaking inch, for protected spaces, legal protections, and moments of acceptance and affirmation.
This shared history is a testament to the power of community action.But the fight isn’t over.In a way we have not seen for many years,a rising anti-2SLGBTQ+ backlash seeks to transmit our progress backwards.
Our communities won’t move backwards. Our past victories fuel and inspire us, but retro has no place in 2SLGBTQ+ rights.
Together we’re asking you not just to help combat back, but to generously power this fight forwards. Forwards towards a society where every 2SLGBTQ+ person is loved, safe, and related to their community.
Your support amplifies our critical everyday function to advance the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Thank you!
