First and foremost, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for the heartwarming free Queerspace breakfast on Christmas morning. We had over 250 people attend and was an amazing show of love, support and celebration.

As we embark on Midsumma Carnival, the beginning of the Midsumma festival, we invite you to drop by and connect with our dedicated staff and volunteers at our stall. Your presence adds vibrancy to the festivities, and we look forward to sharing the celebration with you.

We Are Here

We acknowledge parts of the community are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. First Nations people, QTIPOC, Asylum seekers, refugees and international students show continued resilience, strength and determination. The sex worker and hospitality industries have been hit hard and members of the LGBTIQA+ communities working in these industries have faced job losses and financial stress.

We want to let you know we support you, we are here for you. If you need support please get in touch.

All of our services are continuing via telehealth and online including individual, relationships and family counselling. Peer support groups are also continuing online. For more information go to ‘Our Programs’ tab or Contact us.

Introducing Queerspace

Queerspace is an LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing support service established in 2009 by LGBTIQ+ communities for LGBTIQ+ communities. Queerspace has a focus on relationships, families, parenting and young people and offers co-located services across the north- west metropolitan region of Victoria.

Queerspace services include:

1

Counselling (including individual, relationship and family counselling), case management, advocacy and support services to help you with a range of issues.

2

Peer support including groups and seminars.

3

Professional development, training, consulting and support for organisations who work with LGBTIQ+ people and their families.

We foster partnerships with an extensive range of mental health and community sector services, healthcare providers (including hospitals), early childhood education providers, primary and secondary schools, as well as local government child and family, youth, and aged care services and programs.

At Queerspace, we are devoted to promoting LGBTIQA+ inclusion and celebrating the diversity of gender, age, race, faith, and abilities. Our Carlton location is designed with inclusivity in mind, featuring all-gender bathrooms, ramps, an elevator, and accessible meeting rooms equipped with hearing loops. Additionally, interpreting 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 make Queerspace an accessible and welcoming space for all.
