NICHE Australia educates, challenges, enables and inspires so that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) people thrive in everyday rural communities.  It does this by:

• Gathering the best ideas, people and resources in challenging rural homophobia and transphobia, and supporting LGBTI young people; in doing so, NICHE maps what's working, what's not and identifies gaps;
• Working with, and building upon, successful, effective projects and organisations in regional, rural and remote Australian communities;
• Partnering with mainstream and philanthropic organisations to leverage their resources for regional, rural and remote Australia.

We challenge rural homophobia and transphobia one town, one story and one cuppa at a time.

Communities we have worked with include: Mt Isa (QLD), Bunbury (WA), Shepparton (VIC) and northern Tasmania. Communities in NSW, WA and QLD are eager to have NICHE Australia partner with their communities.
