Who is Minus18?

We're Australia's champions for LGBTQIA+ youth! We host life-affirming events for queer young people, including our flagship Queer Formals in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.

We also host digital events for queer young people to connect with community, no matter their location.

And for adults? We run LGBTQIA+ professional training for workplaces and schools, create inclusion campaigns, and have an online pride shop for LGBTQIA+ community and allies.

Minus18 acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this event is taking place. We acknowledge their continued connection and contribution to land, water and community, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Sovereignty was never ceded; this always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
