About the organisation
The Victorian Pride Centre is a unique initiative that celebrates, bolsters and protects equality, diversity and inclusion. It is set to forge a new chapter in the narrative of Australian Pride by bringing the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex & Queer (LGBTIQ) community together in a single and powerful space.
