About

The Victorian Pride Centre is open! Visit the Pride Gallery, our resident bookshop Hares & Hyenas, or book in a tour now. We have also have a range of upcoming arts and cultural events - check out our Events Calendar for more information.

The Victorian Pride Centre is the first purpose-built centre for Victoria’s LGBTIQA+ communities. It is a place to pave new directions for the future of LGBTIQA+ communities, while honouring and celebrating our brave – and at times difficult – past. It is home to practical and supportive services and will grow into a destination for visitors from across Australia, and beyond.

The Victorian Pride Centre Ltd. is a not-for-profit organisation structured as a company limited by guarantee, and was registered in October 2016. It has been established with a skills-based board of non-executive directors.
