LGBTIQA+ South Australians deserve to thrive.
We’re South Australia’s community-led peak body for the health, safety, inclusion, and equality of LGBTIQA+ people.
Featured projects
Rainbow Council Network
Supporting South Australian local councils to strengthen engagement and inclusion of LGBTIQA+ communities.
Youth physical activity
Co-designing culturally safe, inclusive physical activity initiatives for LGBTIQA+ young people aged 12-25.
State of Pride
Informed by nearly 500 LGBTIQA+ South Australians, our State of Pride Report provides a snapshot of LGBTIQA+ equality in South Australia in 2025.
Pride of the North
Developing a community-controlled and place-based LGBTIQA+ network in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.
Our priorities & advocacy
South Australia holds a proud legacy, being the first State to decriminalise homosexual acts in 1975. While we reflect on over 50 years of progress, the data shows that South Australia has since slipped behind, with LGBTIQA+ South Australians facing rising hate, poorer mental health and lower rates of community belonging.
We work to amplify the voices of LGBTIQA+ South Australians to change laws, policies and practices so everyone in our communities can live safely as themselves.
Learn about what’s happening across the most important issues for LGBTIQA+ South Australians, and what you can do.
Become a member
Our advocacy is strongest when it’s amplified by the collective voices of our communities.
Whether you’re an individual or part of an organisation, becoming a SARAA member builds our collective power to drive real change across South Australia.
Join a growing community of nearly 150 members fighting for equality.
Take action for LGBTIQA+ inclusion
LGBTIQA+ South Australians can live happy, healthy and safe lives when friends, families, service providers, systems and governments affirm and support us.
Through small actions to show that LGBTIQA+ people are valued and supported, you can help make South Australia proud.
Find out how you can support the LGBTIQA+ people in your life.
