Today, we’re wearing purple for Wear it Purple Day 💜

Our Commissioner, Sue Woodward AM, and Assistant Commissioners Nadine Clode and Cate Bennett, are proud to stand alongside people across Australia in showing their support for LGBTIQA+SB young people and their allies.

We recognise the courage they demonstrate every day by speaking up, standing up, and driving positive change in their communities.

We also want to recognise and thank the many registered charities working every day to support LGBTIQA+SB people across the country – providing safe spaces, connection, advocacy, health and wellbeing services and helping to build more inclusive communities.

Australia is richer for the work you do. 💜
