Join us for networking, drinks, and nibbles followed by:

A keynote address from Justice Peter Davis of the Supreme Court of Queensland about pro bono assistance and access to justice

A panel discussion with our pro bono volunteers and barristers about the role they play in supporting LGBTIQA+ clients

An art auction and raffle hosted by Henny Spaghetti!

Tickets are $100 each and include a drinks package and incredible canapés (trust us, you won’t need those dinner plans). All proceeds from the tickets, auction and raffle will go towards expanding our services across the state, including our work towards establishing a permanent office space in Central Queensland.

If you can’t make it, you can still support us by making a tax-deductible donation. Your donations will be matched if you donate here before 15 October 2026!

We've been up in Gimuy for the incredible Cairns Pride Festival and took the opportunity to catch up with our sibling CLCs Cairns Community Legal Centre Inc and North Queensland Women's Legal Service to talk about access to justice for LGBTIQA+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy people in Far North Queensland.

Great turnout from the team (particularly heading into a long weekend), and we're looking forward to continuing these vital co-learning conversations.

We had a great time at Cairns Pride Festival Fair Day.

Great to connect with so many community members and community services, including Cairns Sexual Health Service Pflag+ Cairns and QC Gimuy - Cairns

So often we hear people stop and say "wow, we have our own legal service!"... "that is so great / so needed". Getting out on the road to our regional Pride events is not just a great deal of fun, it's a great way to help get the word out that we're here for all our community no matter where you live or what issues you're facing.

We're running a drop in legal advice session on Wednesday at the QC Gimuy office from 10am - 4pm. Pop in or give us a call on 3124 7160, or request legal help through our website form.

Finally, huge thanks and big gratitude to all of the volunteers who made the magic happen, and check out the other events on the Cairns Pride Festival page.

Another gorgeous Gimuy morning for the Pride Stride march along the Cairns Esplanade had some great chats whilst we meandered along and some heartening displays of allyship from passersby.

If you're in Cairns, head to the Tanks Arts Centre between 10am - 4pm for the Pride Fair Day, we'll have a stall and time for a chat.

We'll also be at the QC office in Parramatta Park on Wednesday for drop in advice sessions.
