Who We Are

Gold Coast Rainbow Communities is the Gold Coast's leading LGBTQIA+ organisation. We are an incorporated, not-for-profit registered charity, community-based, and gay- and gender-diverse-led organisation.

We host a diverse range of LGBTIQA+ community events, from social gatherings and parties to workshops and the annual Gold Coast Pride Festival. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and vibrant community where everyone can feel welcome and celebrated for who they are.

We work alongside local businesses, government agencies, and community groups to foster connection, visibility, and support for the Gold Coast's diverse LGBTQIA+ communities.
