For ten years Rural Pride Australia, formerly NICHE Australia (www.niche.org.au), has partnered lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender diverse, intersex, queer and asexual (LGBTIQA+) people and mainstream organisations in regional, rural and remote communities to make those communities safer, more supportive, welcoming and inclusive.
For seven years we have partnered the Victorian State Government and Commissioner for LGBTIQ+ Communities to work with 29 regional and rural communities on the LGBTIQ Equality Roadshow, Regional Communities of LGBTIQ+ Practice gatherings and LGBTIQ+ Rainbow Ready Roadmap. We were also involved in the FabJab LGBTIQ+ Vaccination Campaign as an Ambassador organisation, distributed 1000s of RATs to LGBTIQA+ people across rural Victoria and have provided immediate financial support for activating local LGBTIQA+ networks following flood events.

We want to transform regional, rural and remote communities to make them safe, supportive, welcome and inclusive for LGBTIQA+ people. Along the way, we want to give LGBTIQA+ people and those that support them signs of LGBTIQA+ hope.
