Rainbow Families

Official page of Rainbow Families, an organisation that provides a network of support to children and families within the NSW LGBTIQ community.

Rainbow Families is established as an incorporated, not-for-profit charitable entity to provide direct support to LGBTIQ member families, to foster resiliency amongst LGBTIQ families, and to address discrimination and other social disadvantages faced by LGBTIQ member families. Rainbow Families will carry out these objectives by connecting, supporting and empowering member families through:
- organising LGBTIQ family community events;
- advocating and 'being a voice' for LGBTIQ member families;
- the creation and distribution of educational materials, research, information (including advocacy) and support material in respect of LGBTIQ families;
- facilitating participation of financially disadvantaged, and geographically and socially isolated, LGBTIQ family members in community events organised by Rainbow Families;
- facilitating participation in wider LGBTIQ and other community events; and
- supporting other related LGBTIQ parenting and family diversity initiatives, and organisations, consistent with the above.
