Our mission We're here to provide an inclusive, safe, fun, engaging campus environment, and bring representation to students of diverse genders, sexes and sexualities at the University of South Australia. Our predecessor club UniSA Pride started in 2010, but after a period of inactivity it was revived in late 2015 as the University of South Australia Rainbow Club. With a small but dedicated committee and some lofty goals, we’ve worked hard over the years to build our reputation as a club that wants to improve queer student services and events at UniSA by advocating for:
βοΈ A queer voice in USASA student representation βοΈ Access to appropriate medical and sexual health advice & referrals to queer-friendly organisations βοΈ Autonomous spaces on campus for queer students to relax in a safe environment βοΈ Counsellors with training and specialise in providing counselling to queer students βοΈ Gender-neutral bathrooms and toilet facilities on all campuses βοΈ Inclusive university policies to protect students and staff from discrimination βοΈ Maintaining an Ally Network of queer-friendly staff members who can provide support to queer students
Join us! β€οΈ Free membership to everyone, not just UniSA students 𧑠Free sexual health and hygiene products π Access to UniSA Queer Spaces π Exclusive info and deals in our monthly email π Meet hundreds of other queer students online on our Discord server π Regular social events at UniSA, and with University of Adelaide Pride Club, Flinders University Queer Collective, and The Queer Society
Need help? We're 100% run by queer students, so we understand the sensitive nature of the issues that you may have experienced such as: β€οΈ Coming out as queer 𧑠Discrimination from staff and students π Finding like-minded friends π Personal, moral, and religious conflict π Questioning your gender identity and sexuality π Relationship challenges We can provide a connection to appropriate services such as QLife, but we're also happy to answer queries and concerns via email or social media DMs. We understand that not everyone would like to be personally identified; we always respect people's privacy and confidentiality. A useful list of university and external services are provided in our brochures downloadable here (also available in Arabic, Mandarin and Spanish). It's okay if you’re not open about your sexuality or gender identity - you're still welcome to attend our events. Let us know if you'd like more info about an event and we'll do everything we can to make it a comfortable experience.
