LGBTQIA+ Group Now Open

Calling all young LGBTQIA+ folks!

Are you aged 12 to 25 and looking to make friends from the LGBTQIA+ community? Join our safe, fun, and welcoming LGBTQIA+ group! It's the perfect space to socialise, make connections, and just be yourself with others who get it!


What is this group about? 

The headspace Queanbeyan LGBTQIA+ group is designed to provide young people from the ages of 12 to 25 a safe space to explore their identity with others in the LGBTQIA+ community. With the direction of the Group Coordinators, you will be given the opportunity to socialise with and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ young people in the Queanbeyan area by participating in a range of engaging group activities, such as:

  • Team building 
  • Arts and crafts 
  • Video & board games 
  • Giving feedback about headspace services
  • … And more! 

The LGBTQIA+ group is also given the chance to advise headspace Queanbeyan on how to best provide support and address the issues of the community directly from your own experiences. You will also be given the opportunity to put forward ideas and initiatives for the LGBTQIA+ community that headspace Queanbeyan will support you in putting out into the local community, such as:

  • Creating LGBTQIA+ programs or events that are relevant to our community
  • Advising headspace Queanbeyan on how to best confront LGBTQIA+ related issues for our clients
  • ... And more!


When do we start? 

The group will begin as of Tuesday 28th January 2025 at 5:00pm and we will meet once a month on the last Tuesday of each month.

Group meetings will take place in the headspace Queanbeyan centre on 2/98 Monaro Street Queanbeyan, which is next to the Westpac bank building (unless otherwise specified).
