Rainbow Families is the leading voice for LGBTQ+ families in Australia.

'Rainbow Families' is the leading voice for LGBTQ+ families in Australia. We are committed to our mission as a charity to support, connect, celebrate, empower, and advocate for LGBTQ+ parents and their families at every stage of their lives. We serve as an important voice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, diverse, and queer (LGBTQ+) parents and their children.

In 2024, we proudly became a national organisation to support more rainbow families across the country. By joining forces, we deliver a bigger and better organisation to support our amazing community. We speak on behalf of and empower LGBTQ+ parents and their kids. We create inclusive and safe services, spaces, programs, and resources for rainbow families to thrive. From antenatal classes to fun social events like Mardi Gras and Family Pride, we build friendships and strengthen social connections. As an equality-focused organisation, we engage with policy and research to fight systemic discrimination with love and affirming action.

We warmly welcome you to our community and look forward to supporting your family’s journey in the years to come.
