Biography
delsi (they/them) is a proud queer advocate and educator with nearly 15 years of experience in the LGBTQIA+ sector. Their work spans queer activism, event production, filmmaking, teaching, community engagement, and the development and delivery of LGBTQIA+ inclusion workshops.
They are the founder of Unicorns, a grassroots LGBTQIA+ organisation they launched 12 years ago to address the need for safe, inclusive spaces that bring the entire LGBTQIA+ community together. Since its inception, Unicorns has become one of Australia’s most beloved queer event series, celebrated for its strong commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and joy.
delsi is also the Operations & Relationships Lead at Transgender Victoria, where they manage a team of trans and gender diverse staff working to increase the safety, visibility, and rights of LGBTQIA+ people across the state.
delsi has worked at nearly every LGBTQIA+ not-for-profit in Naarm - from Minus18, to Switchboard Victoria, ARCSHS to hosing their own radio show on Joy 94.9, Unicorn Youth - which gave a voice to LGBTQIA+ young people in Victoria for 2 whole years.
In 2019, delsi made history as the first Australian LGBTI person to successfully take legal action against online anti-queer defamation, becoming a powerful voice against harassment and hate.
Their recent documentary, Femme, screened at six international film festivals in 2024 - including the Melbourne Queer Film Festival and the Social Impact Film Festival in California - where it was celebrated for its powerful exploration of queer femme identity.
Their contributions have been widely recognised: they were crowned Ms Melbourne Rubber, named among Australia’s Top 50 LGBTI Leaders, and featured in the SBS documentary Asking for It as a leader in creating consent-driven, inclusive party spaces. delsi was also a finalist for the Victorian LGBTI Person of the Year Award in 2019, 2023, and 2025.
delsi is also the author and Project Manager of Victoria’s first LGBTQIA+ workplace gendered violence prevention toolkit. This WorkSafe Victoria, Your Community Health and Transgender Victoria initiative includes a 55 page Toolkit aimed at lowering the rates of violence against LGBTQIA+ Victorians at work.
