Social opportunities
GASP – Our vibrant youth program offers a social group for queer young people to be themselves and connect (ages 12-25).
QHub – A safe and welcoming space in central Geelong for LGBTQIA+ people of all ages.

Geelong Rainbow - A friendly volunteer-run group that brings people together through regular social catchups and activities, including Rainbow Coffee Catch Ups.
Geelong Cats Pride Supporters - A community group for LGBTQIA+ Geelong Cats supporters and allies to connect, attend matches together and celebrate pride through a shared love of football. Supported by the Geelong Cats.
