Ready to create an inclusive, affirming space for LGBTIQA+ people? Let us inspire your team with personal stories, lived experience and LGBTIQA+ knowledge.
At South Australian Rainbow Advocacy Alliance (SARAA), we strongly believe in the power of personal stories and lived experience in inspiring and bringing us together to build a stronger more inclusive society.
We offer an array of expert guest speakers who bring lived experience, compelling advocacy insights, and practical strategies to foster LGBTIQA+ inclusion across workplaces, universities, schools, and community settings.
When you book one of our speakers for your event, conference, or a significant LGBTQIA+ celebration, you’re promoting understanding, dismantling stigma, and directly contributing to a thriving South Australian LGBTIQA+ community. As a registered charity, 100% of our profits are reinvested to support training, advocacy, peer support, and community events.
Varo’s insights into identity, advocacy, and the challenges facing the LGBTQIA+ community were powerful and deeply moving.. Sessions like these remind us why diversity and inclusion work is so important—not just in policy, but in practice, in listening, and in learning from lived experience.

In the spirit of the theme, “The Power of Communities”, it is so important – now more than ever – to acknowledge and appreciate the work our local community groups do to drive positive change and improve the lives of LGBTQIA+ people in our lives.– GHD Adelaide
