Thank you for supporting Minus18! Every single one of your tax-deductible donations supports our work improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ young people around Australia – and creating a more inclusive Australia via education, campaigns and resources.
Who are we?
Minus18 is Australia’s charity improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth via life-affirming events, leadership programs, and education for the whole community.
We’re creating an Australia where all young people are safe, empowered, and surrounded by people that support them. Here's how we do it.
Awareness & Visibility
We build awareness of the 2 in 3 LGBTQIA+ youth who still experience abuse for who they are. Our digital campaigns and partnerships start crucial conversations to amplify the voice of the next generation.
Life-Affirming Programs
Our preventive model of mental health support tackles social isolation by creating spaces where LGBTQIA+ youth belong. Young people are at the forefront of our programs – and we're empowering them to be the next generation of LGBTQIA+ leaders.
Our Reach
Since 2011, we have transformed the lives of LGBTQIA+ young people Australia-wide:
Why we do it
Despite how far we've come, 2 in 3 LGBTQIA+ young people will still experience harassment and discrimination just for being who they are.
