You may have already noticed our new look around and now it's time for a proper introduction! 💜

Our rebrand was shaped through workshops with our staff and the young people we work with. From those conversations emerged something special: a brand built around real voices, real experiences and real connection.

Our logo is designed as speech bubbles, representing the open dialogue, deep listening and importance of young people's voices. It opens up to hold different colours, flags, images and artwork. It's a living mark that moves with our community, celebrating the diversity of the people Zig Zag stands alongside every day.

We are still the same Zig Zag, we are still a place of healing, support and social action to end sexual violence and housing injustice. Just with a fresh look that reflects who we are.

A huge thank you to the team at Chippa Creative for bringing this to life so beautifully.

Happy wear it purple day from all of us at Zig Zag 💜🌈

On the last Friday of every August Australia celebrates LGBTQIA+SB young people by proudly wearing purple.

This years theme is “Colours of Courage”. Colours of courage celebrates the many different forms of courage shown by LBGTQIA+SB young people, allies and communities everyday.

You can find more information on this years theme and how you can support LGBTQIA+SB young people here https://www.wearitpurple.org/wear-it-purple-day-2026?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAT9tuNwZG9mAmZkaWQWUNXJ4760erFqsM2U6QsjyA89ZGwPZGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp5hZBQkA0dYPqXF1siHvyL1zpl5NBRy4SUJxzII6heqzAFZcOfAvBbZIMFqK_aem_5nnbzx_Vts4F1B-8F4wOJA

Tuesday 11 August is Census Night.

Every 5 years, the ABS counts every person and household in Australia.

Census data is used to help make decisions on education, healthcare, as well as services for young people experiencing homelessness and impacted by violence.

Households will receive a letter with a Census number and password to login and complete the census online.

If you experiencing homelessness (sleeping rough, couch surfing, in overcrowded housing, or in crisis/ emergency/ transitional accommodation), you can answer Question 13 of the Census “Where does the person usually live?” with “None” to ensure your experience of homelessness is counted in the Census.

Need help completing the Census? Ask your Zig Zag worker, go to census.abs.gov.au, call 1800 181 227, or call 131 450 for support in languages other than English.

📢Important!!🚨

On Monday 27 July at 2:00 pm - Brisbane time, mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches across Australia will vibrate and sound a loud 10-second siren as part of a planned test of the new AusAlert emergency warning system, even if devices are set to silent or Do Not Disturb.

Your screen will show a message confirming it is only a test. You are safe. No action is needed. 💜 We want to make sure you feel prepared.

Unexpected loud alarms can be startling or distressing. If you think this alert may affect you, you can switch your device off or put it in airplane mode before 2:00 pm to avoid it.

This is also worth sharing with anyone in your life who may be using a secondary or discreet device for safety reasons, switching it off briefly on Monday afternoon or handing it to a trusted/safe person may be important for their privacy and safety.

[Image description: A bold ZigZag graphic with a red notice board design on a purple background. Text reads: "Head's Up - Monday 27 July 2pm. Your phone will sound a loud alarm. This is only a test. You are safe. Need to avoid it? Switch off or airplane mode before 2pm and for at least one hour."]

This month we say a fond farewell and thanks to our Nundah office – “The Loft”!

The Loft has provided a safe space for many young people over a number of years – a space where they could talk about difficult things, connect with their strengths and realise their value. It has been a place where people have found a sense of hope and discovered what can be possible. It has witnessed tears, laughter and change for many.

It has also been a space we have shared with our valued colleagues from BRISSC (Brisbane R**e and In**st Survivors Support Centre). This connection has enriched us as workers and given value to the space as survivors of all ages crossed paths and at times, shared ideas and took action together.
We thank Nundah, BRISSC and the many young people who have trusted and worked alongside us at The Loft.

Our north side work will now be based out of our Windsor office, with outreach and community connection continuing across the region. We look forward to our ongoing work in this area, and to working with the north side community to challenge and change the presence of sexual violence amongst us.
