Bring family and friends together by hosting a rainbow dinner party, after work drinks, a rainbow picnic, or LGBTQIA+ themed movie night.
You could even fundraise by encouraging everyone to donate what they'd normally spend on a night out.
2. Digitally
We've all had loads of practice doing things digitally now – and it's still a great way to bring everyone together, no matter your location!
Our faves? Rainbow digital trivia night, online rainbow crafternoon, digital drinks, or even live-streamed group workout!
3. Don't forget the rainbows!
The more rainbows, the bigger the impact! Grab a Pride Pack, filled with everything you need for a great IDAHOBIT event, from fundraising ribbons to conversation cards, flags to cupcake flags.
Plus, you'll be equipped to champion inclusivity year-round!
GO RAINBOW
Deck your home out with rainbows with a Pride Pack. You'll save up to 60% off the RRP of these rainbow goodies, AND 100% of proceeds from every single purchase goes towards supporting LGBTQIA+ youth Australia-wide.

KEEP THE GOOD VIBES FLOWING
1. Start a Stand Out group
Create a student led Stand Out group (also known as Queer-Straight Alliances or Diversity Groups). Stand Out groups are a great way to support LGBTI students all year round. For tips on how to start one, check out the Stand Out resource.
2. Celebrate LGBTI History Month
October is LGBTI+ History Month, a chance to learn more about the inspiring history of LGBTI people and events. Mark it in your calendar and download the schools toolkit for Year 7 - 11.
3. Book a Minus18 Workshop
Book a Minus18 workshop on LGBTI diversity. Minus18 workshops are run by young people and are a great way to start conversations on how to make schools safer for LGBTI students.
