It’s GiveOUT Day! 🏳️‍🌈

Everything we do is made possible by the people who believe in this work and choose to support it. As a community-funded organisation, we rely on this support to keep raising awareness of LGBTQIA+ domestic, family and intimate partner violence, and creating resources that help communities and victim-survivors access support.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Your support helps us continue this work and reach more people who need to be seen, heard and believed 💜

There’s still time to make your donation count twice. Donations made before midnight are eligible for dollar matching.

Help us reach our $10,000 goal before the clock runs out ⏰

When support isn’t designed with LGBTQIA+ people in mind, accessing help can come with another set of barriers 💜

For people experiencing domestic and family violence, that can mean not knowing where to turn, feeling like services aren’t made for them, or having nowhere safe to go.

That’s why we’re working to build greater awareness and more inclusive support across the DFV sector.

With the support of our community, we’ve developed See, Hear, Believe, a learning program designed to build understanding of LGBTQIA+ experiences of domestic and family violence. We’re also creating opportunities to show up at events and spaces that connect us with LGBTQIA+ communities.

This GiveOUT Day, we’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help us continue this work and reach more people who need to be seen, heard and believed.

Help us reach our goal. Donate here 🔗 https://brnw.ch/21x6h6R

Save the date: GiveOUT Day is coming up!

On Thursday 15 October, we’re coming together to support LGBTQIA+ causes across Australia, and we’re setting a big goal: $10,000 to help make LGBTQIA+ domestic, family and intimate partner violence seen, heard and believed.

Why does your support matter? Because it helps us raise awareness, create resources, educate frontline services and reach more LGBTQIA+ victim-survivors 💜

And there’s more: donations made before and on GiveOUT Day are eligible for dollar matching. That means your donation could go twice as far.

Save the date, plan your donation and help us reach our goal.

We acknowledge the ongoing trial and the serious domestic violence-related allegations being heard in the NSW Supreme Court.

As proceedings continue, one truth remains; lives have been lost, and families, friends and communities are living with that loss.

Every life taken through domestic and family violence is a devastating reminder that this issue remains urgent, real, and deeply felt across our communities.

For LGBTQIA+ people especially, conversations about violence can sometimes be difficult and deeply personal. If this news impacts you, please prioritise your wellbeing by:

💜 Connecting with trusted supports and support services
💜 Checking in on each other
💜 Seeking support and care when you need it

Our communities deserve safety, dignity, and to have our lived experiences heard and respected.

Support is available. See the next slide for LGBTQIA+ support services.

Today is Bis*xual Visibility Day 💜🩷💙

Bis*xual people experience domestic and family violence too. In fact, 1 in 4 bis*xual women have experienced a violent relationship.

Biphobia, stereotypes and bi-erasure can make it harder to recognise abuse. And being in a relationship with someone of any gender doesn’t make someone’s bis*xuality any less valid.

This Bis*xual Visibility Day, let’s challenge biphobia, make space for bis*xual voices and work towards support services where everyone feels seen and safe.

What does a healthy relationship look and feel like?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but feeling safe to be yourself can be a good place to start.

These questions from Say It Out Loud's healthy relationship quiz are here to help you pause, reflect and think about your own experiences.

Swipe through, and if you’d like to explore things further, take the full quiz here: https://brnw.ch/21x5NUB

Remember, the quiz is a starting point, not a definitive assessment. If something doesn’t feel right, you deserve support 💜

Wear It Purple Day is a reminder that everyone deserves to feel like they belong 💜

This year’s theme, “Colours of Courage,” celebrates the courage it takes to be yourself, stand beside others and create safer, more inclusive spaces.

Across the Foundation, our people are wearing purple to show LGBTQIA+ young people that they are seen, valued and supported.

But courage looks different for everyone:

“As a parent, I also want my children to grow up in a world where everyone can be themselves, feel seen and know they belong.” - Heather.

“Courage takes on many forms, and wearing purple today is our way of showing LGBTQ youth they are loved, they belong, and we will always stand up for them.” - Macushla.

“Wear It Purple means putting on your colours for those young people who are not safe to do so themselves! It’s a symbol of pride in our community and a call for acceptance for all.” - Tom.

“Courage is about the people who give you the strength to be unapologetically yourself. I’m grateful to have an incredible family and chosen family who stand with me, support me and remind me that courage is even stronger when we share it.” - Brayden.

It’s timeeeee 🔔

Living with family or housemates who don't know you're LGBTQIA+ on Census night? You can still be counted your way.

You don't have to complete the Census as part of your household form. Call the Census Contact Centre on 1800 181 227 to get your own Census number for a separate, private form (online or paper).

A few things to know:

- Use the same name, date of birth and s*x recorded at birth as on your household form where possible – this helps the ABS match your form and keep the most complete one
- Every other question is yours to answer in the way that best reflects who you are
- Answer as many questions as you can – the most complete form is the one that counts

So take a few minutes tonight to make sure you're counted as yourself.
