Organisation Summary

Out for Australia is a national charity dedicated to empowering LGBTQIA+ young people to be their authentic selves at work. We run Australia’s largest LGBTQIA+ mentoring platform, helping more than 3000 young people thrive since it began in 2013. With our partners, we also run workplace events and training that spotlight the importance of inclusion for LGBTQIA+ young people and raise awareness of the negative impacts of discrimination and bias. Our mentoring and events provide LGBTQIA+ safe spaces for career development, networking and professional learning.

Every year, we organise a national ’30 Under 30 Awards’, which spotlight the outstanding achievements and positive impact made by young LGBTQIA+ individuals. By shining this light, the awards create visible role models who inspire others and break down stereotypes, making our communities more inclusive and understanding. Our charity provides opportunities for dozens of LGBTQIA+ young people to gain professional work experience in a safe and welcoming environment.
