Investing In Support For Rainbow Victorians

Labor is backing LGBTIQA+ Victorians, right around the state. Grants of up to $40,000 will be delivered to 13 organisations to ensure all Victorians can access support closer to home. These grants build on the more than 180 grants delivered right across Victoria, including to Mallee Family Care, Melbourne Queer Film Festival and consent and inclusion training provider Let’s Talk About X .

Rainbow Dads Victoria will get support to train more volunteers in child safety and run extra playgroups. Midsumma will be supported to upgrade their online presence and build their creative resource index to elevate LGBTIQA+ artists. Yarrawonga Mulwala Community Learning Centre will use their grant to establish a cross-border LGBTIQA+ network to improve service delivery for the region.

Labor will always stand with LGBTIQA+ Victorians. But this is all at risk – a One Nation-Liberal Coalition will slash the programs that LGBTIQA+ Victorians rely on as part of their $40 billion cuts plan. For more information go to vic.gov.au/lgbtiqa-organisational-development-grants .

Quotes attributable to Minister for Equality Steve Dimopoulos “Labor is backing the organisations that support LGBTIQA+ Victorians with more funding so they can support more people.” “Nobody in this state should be held back because of who they are or who they love – no more so than at work.” 260829 -Investing In Support For Rainbow Victorians.pdf PDF 339.03 KB (opens in a new window)
