Run an event, like a BBQ, morning tea, trivia night or after work drinks. Simple ideas are sometimes the best, and they're the most likely to get heaps of people involved.

3. Start A Project

Use IDAHOBIT as a way to to launch a project that supports sexual and gender diversity. It could be the formation of an LGBTIQ committee or announcing a plan to support the LGBTIQ community.

4. CEO Support

Ask your CEO to write a blog or article in support of LGBTI staff and customers with a commitment to how your organisation is supporting LGBTIQ diversity.

5. Shout It Proud

Use your networks to promote your involvement in the day. Share photos from your events on the day using the hashtag #IDAHOBIT and show the world why supporting LGBTIQ employees and consumers is so important.

6. Give a little

Use IDAHOBIT to add the Minus18 Foundation to your workplace giving programs, or organise a unique fundraiser to support LGBTIQ youth.
