    TransGender Victoria was founded in the late 1990s to address discrimination faced by transgender people in Victoria.

  • Celebrating Diversity in Schools

  • Catching On
    This website provides a range of learning and teaching resources for Victorian primary and secondary schools.

    All materials support a comprehensive, whole-school learning approach to sexuality education.

    Catching On sexuality education training and curriculum materials have been provided to Victorian schools since 2004. Since this time, Catching On has become the phrase used to identify this Department’s sexuality education resources. Catching On resources have been made possible through the partnership between this Department and the Department of Human Services.

    Further Catching On resources are currently under development. Find out more about Catching On resources and programs in About Sexuality Education.

    PFlag are a group of parents, families and friends of gay, lesbian and bisexual people who meet once a month and offer support and friendship to families, particularly parents, and also to members of the GLBTI community who may need support in coming out to their families and friends.

    PLAG offers support through public education and advocacy, to end discrimination and secure equal civil rights.

    PFLAG aims to provide a vital link between GLBTI people and the wider community.

Some major successes include helping achieve the equalisation of the age of consent, lifting the ban on lesbians and gay men serving in the military, securing legislation allowing same-sex couples to adopt and the repeal of Section 28. More recently Stonewall has helped secure civil partnerships and ensured the recent Equality Act protected lesbians and gay men in terms of goods and services.

    Stonewall also works with a whole range of agencies to address the needs of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals in the wider community. Our Diversity Champions programme offers advice and support to over 400 organisations including IBM, Barclays, Barnardos, DCLG and the Royal Navy.

    Stonewall's Education for All campaign, launched in January 2005, helps tackle homophobia and homophobic bullying in schools and works with a wide coalition of groups.
