Diversity ACT

Diversity ACT  is a community based, registered charity, run by volunteers that provides a service hub, social worker, support networks, groups and community resources to assist the LGBTIAQ+ community of the ACT Region.

Diversity ACT is a registered charity and relies solely on fundraising events such as Community BBQ's (Mawson Shopping Centre and Bunnings), and Hub Hire for parties and other events. Diversity ACT is always looking for ways to fund raise so that services can remain viable. As a registered charity we accept donations from the community.

Diversity ACT has provided assistance for LGBTIAQ+ community members with;

• Emergency Relief food hampers during their greatest times of need including  Christmas Hampers, with gifts for adults and their children (jointly with TUC*),
• assistance with resume writing & job seeking,
• support through our  own volunteer social worker
• on-line support referrals from a support clearinghouse
• transport 
• footwear & clothing    (jointly with Tuggeranong Uniting)
• advice and assistance to a number of people coming out as SGD
• advocacy & court support
• placements for students in Youth Work and Community Development
• advice on LGBTIAQ+ issues to other agencies

We also achieved key milestones:

• Established Queer Youth Together - our long running Youth Group
• Established the Rainbow Christian Alliance in a joint project with Tuggeranong Uniting Church 
• Established the Rainbow Christian Alliance, Dare Cafe, Goulburn
• Annual Wear it Purple Trivia night
• Provided LGBTIQ education to ACT government health workers & Telephone Crisis Supporters
• Increased fundraising & improved public relations through grants and community events

Our goal is to continue to provide these and other services, as needed, with the assistance of our volunteers.
