IDE Club Club Spotlight

The Pride Club exists for students and staff members who identify as part of the queer community or allies to socialise and provide support for one another. We partner with groups like the ALLY Network, and the Wellbeing Hub on campus to improve student experience and ensure that everyone has equal access to education at Adelaide regardless of gender or sexual identity.

We host fortnightly afternoon teas that anyone can attend for free! We often have board games or will sit around and play mafia or even truth or dare! We also run collaborations with other clubs for morning teas, movie nights, and panel discussions. Coming up this year we’ll be running a lot of education sessions about queer history in Australia.

The groups founded in the 70s on and around the Adelaide Uni campus, which would eventually become the Pride Club, actually helped organise the first pride march in South Australia in 1973! Many of them also travelled to Sydney in 1978 for the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

We provide a space for queer folks that isn’t inherently political. We don’t have to explain ourselves or defend our identities, we can just be. We also function as an important go-between for students who have concerns about their treatment or who need us to advocate on their behalf.
