WELCOME MESSAGE

Welcome to the 2025-2026 Canberra LGBTIQ DIRECTORY. This unique annual publication, along with our popular website, is a community focused project proudly produced by FUSE Magazine — Canberra's local LGBTIQ+ publication for over sixteen years.

The LGBTIQ DIRECTORY has been created in response to the identification that LGBTIQ+ people in Canberra and surrounding regions need a central place to find support, community and business pathways.

We aim not just to provide a directory but also to encourage and promote rich and fulfilling lives in our community. We hope it inspires you to explore new opportunities and connections.

Dedicated to supporting our diverse community, the LGBTIQ DIRECTORY is packed with essential services and support networks, as well as LGBTIQ+ social and sporting organisations.

We've got everyday living covered too. If you're looking to have your car serviced, restyle your home, buy a gift from a queer artist or need some legal advice, the businesses advertised here are not just LGBTIQ-friendly, they embrace our whole rainbow community.

By choosing to use the services of the people listed in this directory, you will be supporting LGBTIQ-owned and/or operated organisations as well as companies that are actively supporting our community — it's a win-win!

The FUSE LGBTIQ DIRECTORY is also available online at lgbtiq.directory where you will find new businesses and community groups popping up throughout the year.

A GENDER AGENDA

A Gender Agenda (AGA) is a peer-based community organisation that works with, and advocates for intersex, trans and gender diverse people.

A Gender Agenda aims to support the goals and needs of the intersex, transgender and gender diverse communities of Canberra and the surrounding region. Through training and education, advocacy, peer support, resources and professional networks, we connect people to each other and build off the wisdom of collective experiences. For over ten years, AGA has represented a gold standard of TGD+I support that is unique in Australia.

AGA delivers intersex, trans and gender diverse training and education in our local community, to build capacity and to help reduce barriers and discrimination for intersex, trans and gender diverse people.

AGA provides consultation to many workplaces, including government and non-government organisations, offers information and support for schools and students, and collaborates with other professionals who closely support the intersex, trans and gender diverse community.

AGA's Calendar of Events has a variety of community happenings ranging from workshops and discussion groups to weekly drop-in sessions, and regular youth and family groups. AGA also offers a wide range of relevant up to date resources that can support trans, gender diverse and intersex peoples, their families and allies, as well as the wider community.

GENDER PATHWAYS

Gender Pathways (formerly The Friday Centre) is a peer navigation service that aims to assist trans and gender diverse communities with information and referrals to support their social, legal and medical transition.

Gender Pathways is operated by A Gender Agenda at Meridian, Havelock House. For more details call us on 0402 276 553 or email genderpathways@genderrights.org.au or visit our website.

AGA fundamentally believes in a right to safety, inclusion and respect, and that all people should feel free to live in such a way that embraces their inner sense of self, regardless of how they identify.

AGA is proud to exist and operate in the ACT, a Territory which also upholds these values. Our Vision is for a world where intersex, trans and gender diverse people live without discrimination or fear. AGA is appreciative of the ongoing support we receive from the ACT Government and our partner organisations.

MERIDIAN

Originally founded in response to the HIV epidemic in the ACT, Meridian has evolved into a dynamic, community-controlled, peer-led organisation that champions the health and wellbeing of people living with or impacted by HIV, LGBTIQA+ individuals, sex workers, and other communities who experience stigma and marginalisation.

We are holistic in our approach to improving the health and wellbeing of our communities. We know that our communities are diverse — our health needs are not all the same.

Our person-centered programs and services recognise that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to improving health and wellbeing.

Our multi-disciplinary team blends and harnesses lived experience with evidence-informed practices to deliver impactful, person-centred care.

Our services are designed to meet the diverse needs of our communities. We provide holistic support for individuals living with or affected by HIV — from HIV prevention, testing and education to peer navigation, counselling to case management and individual advocacy. We provide individual and group support to people living with HIV including regular peer events.

Our multi-disciplinary wellbeing team provides free and low-cost mental health and wellbeing services including psychology, counselling and peer work for people impacted by HIV, LGBTIQA+ people and sex workers. Our services are trauma-informed and offered in a safe, inclusive environment.

Health promotion and harm reduction are central to our work at Meridian. We provide tailored health promotion resources, sexual health testing, safer sex products and harm reduction resources, and we are a secondary NSP.

Sex Worker Outreach Program ACT is a sex workerled program hosted by Meridian that promotes sexual health, sex worker rights and safety. SWOP also plays a key advocacy role in the ongoing push for the decriminalisation of sex work in the ACT.

Meridian supports older people, particularly LGBTIQA+ people and those from diverse backgrounds, navigating aged care services and reducing social isolation. We provide Care Finder services and the Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme in the ACT and region.

Meridian is a leader in training and education, offering programs on LGBTIQA+ awareness, HIV education, aged care inclusivity, and sex worker awareness.

Our trainers are skilled educators and community members. Our training offerings are designed to ensure that participants are provided with practical knowledge and skills to ensure safety and inclusion.

Central to our mission is community engagement and fostering community connection. Throughout the year we host regular and one-off events that celebrate and nurture the rich diversity within our communities.

We host the Pride Hub at our centrally-located office in Turner. The Pride Hub offers a safe and inclusive meeting space for local LGBTIQA+ community groups, organisations and services.

SEXUAL HEALTH AND FAMILY PLANNING ACT

For more than 50 years, SHFPACT has been Canberra’s go-to sexual health promotion charity. Offering clinical appointments, education sessions, training courses and disability services, we are dedicated to improving the sexual and reproductive health of the Canberra Community.

From guiding you through the expected changes during puberty to STI tests, reproductive health and the winddown of desire, we are there for you throughout your whole sexual and reproductive journey.

Our multidisciplinary team works hand in hand to deliver specialised clinical and educational services while also promoting the importance of healthy relationships. This approach keeps our community healthy, informed about their rights, and equipped to enjoy their sexual lives in safe and respectful ways.

We have a proud history of serving the LGBTIQA+ community through inclusive services, school-based anti-homophobia education, supporting the establishment of peer youth networks, and our safe and inclusive school support programs. We remain committed to ensuring all our programs reflect the sexual and gender diversity of our community.

With human rights and social justice at the core of our organisation, we continuously work to identify and overcome barriers to health for people in our priority populations. These populations include young people, financially disadvantaged people, culturally and linguistically diverse people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability and the LGBTIQA+ community.
