Why

Join Geelong Rainbow this Pride Month for a powerful and affirming evening celebrating trans and gender diverse voices in our community. Proudly funded by Pride Foundation Australia, this free event brings together lived experience, professional insight, and community connection in a welcoming and inclusive space.

Hear from an inspiring panel featuring Parker Rettke (President, Geelong Rainbow), Idris McChesney (Founder, Walken), Susanne Prosser (CEO, Transcend Australia), Dr Dave Capstick (Director, Q Psychology), and Dr Sophie Pilbeam (Program Coordinator, BNNH). Together, they’ll explore identity, wellbeing, advocacy, and the realities of navigating regional systems. We’re also thrilled to welcome a special appearance from local legend Miss Taree Mann 

Following the panel, the evening will shift into a vibrant social and dance space from 8:30pm, with light catering provided creating an opportunity to connect, celebrate, and simply be together in queer joy.

Tickets are free, reserve your spot.
