Out for Australia empowers LGBTQIA+ people to thrive at work in the formative stages of their career.
Since our founding in 2013, Out for Australia (OFA) has remained true to our purpose of providing support, role models and mentoring for young, and inspiring LGBTQIA+ people across the country as they navigate their way through the early stages of their career.
Out for Australia continues to unite the community, offering inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ community and allies to connect and develop skills.
Our vision is an empowered LGBTQIA+ community who are confident being their authentic selves in every workplace.
Despite the progress since marriage equality in Australia in 2017, stigma and discrimination continue to be commonplace for LGBTQIA+ people in Australian society. Our community’s mental health and wellbeing lag behind the rest of the country, with the picture ever starker for our community’s most marginalised. Whichever job we hold, or in whichever industry we work, the significant portion of our lives that we spend at work can have a big impact on our overall well being.
