The Victorian Pride Centre is Australia’s first purpose-built home for LGBTIQA+ communities, a safe and inclusive space for all. More than bricks and mortar, the Centre stands as a powerful physical manifestation of pride in Victoria. It honours and celebrates our communities’ courageous and, at times, challenging past, while paving new directions for a vibrant future. Within its walls are practical and supportive services, advocacy organisations, affirming spaces, and opportunities for connection.

The Victorian Pride Centre houses major and important LGBTIQA+ resident organisations, and provides flexible and multi-use spaces for hire, including, meeting rooms, rooftop terrace, co-working spaces, a theatrette and gallery.

The Centre serves as a hub for LGBTIQA+ groups and organisations to share ideas and resources and to further their work in supporting equality, diversity and inclusion across the state.

We have an amazing team working hard behind the scenes who have made the Victorian Pride Centre a reality – Meet our people.

The Victorian Pride Centre is sustained by the generous donations from our communities, as well as our amazing Patrons, and those who contribute to our Pride Registry, we thank you for your ongoing support of Australia’s first purpose-built LGBTIQA+ Pride Centre.

Funding and acknowledgements

The Victorian Pride Centre received one-off funding by the State Government who in 2016 contributed to the construction of the facility to showcase LGBTIQA+ art and history as well as bringing together advisory, health and support services.

The Pride Centre is also fortunate and extremely thankful to have had the support of the City of Port Phillip, which has gifted the community the land for the Pride Centre.

Without ongoing government funding we need your support to keep our doors open. Please click here to see how you can help to shape the future for LGBTIQA+ people in Victoria.
