VIC Premier
Victoria is now home to Australia’s first purpose-built community hub for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) communities, with the opening of the landmark Victorian Pride Centre.
Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister for Equality Martin Foley today joined Victoria’s diverse LGBTIQ+ community to officially open this centre and announce the main date for Melbourne Pride 2021.
The Andrews Labor Government invested more than $25 million to deliver the centre, which will celebrate our LGBTIQ+ communities, honour their past, and support organisations and groups driving equality across the state.
The Labor Government is also investing $1.9 million to deliver Melbourne Pride 2021, which will be one of the most significant LGBTIQ+ events in Victoria’s history.
