This is a significant event for community in WA. It's the biggest overhaul of the state's anti-discrimination laws in more than 40 years and will bring WA more in line with the rest of the country. Under this proposal, religious schools and institutions will no longer be able to discriminate against people based on their sexuality and protections for others has also been widened. The bill will be introduced in Parliament on Wednesday and we will be watching. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ "Hate is not OK in WA." 👏👏👏 (Premier Roger Cook) Roger Cook Dr. Tony Buti MLA Hannah Beazley MLA
What a great AFLW Pride Round! Thank you Fremantle Dockers AFLW for hosting us and thank you to all the amazing community members we got to meet! It was a pleasure talking to so many of you and to see those pride flags on display! Pride Round is about safety and inclusion for everyone in sport - players, supporters, club members and employees. No matter who you are - Safety Is For Everyone!! 🏳️🌈💜🌈🏳️⚧️ AFL Women's #AFLWPride
Come along this Sunday for the 2026 PRIDE ROUND match between Freo and St Kilda! 🌈✨ We know that sporting clubs and environments can be challenging spaces for many LGBTIQA+ people. Many young people step away from sports because they don't feel safe to be themselves. But sport, community and connection are so important for mental health and wellbeing. We want to see all clubs and codes work towards making these spaces inclusive for all. This is why Pride Rounds are so important. They celebrate gender diversity, supports LGBTQIA+ communities, and promotes inclusivity for players, fans, and staff. Visibility matters so we will be there! 🌈 🌈 Come down to Cockburn ARC Oval this Sunday, bring your friends and drop by the Living Proud stall to say hi! ✨ @freodockersaflw #prideround
Today is Global Peer Support Celebration Day! It’s an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the contributions of peer support workers and raise awareness about the value of lived and living experience. This year’s theme is Peer Support Belongs Here. Peer support is grounded in shared lived and living experience. It creates space for people to feel understood, connected and hopeful, and offers something unique alongside other forms of care and support. Living Proud has been built on peer support. For community, by community. Without these committed and passionate people, Living Proud would not exist. We thank you! #PeerSupportBelongsHere. #GlobalPeerSupportCelebrationDay
This week, we had the privilege of presenting at the Global Mental Health Summit here in Boorloo. The presentation discussed the impact on many LGBTIQA+SB people navigating systems that don’t always understand their lives, don't feel inclusive and create barriers to safe, inclusive healthcare and support. We also talked about the role that workplaces, schools, services, government and society play in creating environments where people feel safe, valued and able to thrive. Peer-led organisations like Living Proud are essential to this work. We bring lived experience and community knowledge, support people to feel understood, and help mainstream services build their capacity. Peer-led services are essential infrastructure, not an optional addition. Because the goal shouldn’t be helping people become better at surviving exclusion. It should be creating the conditions for everyone to thrive. #GMHS #globalmentalhealthsummit2026
