PFLAG is an international peer support group for parents of LGBTQIA+ children of all ages. Every group in Australia is 100% voluntary, self funded, with no political affiliation and secular.
On behalf of the PFLAG+ Brisbane Committee, welcome to our website. We added the “+” to our name a few years ago to reflect our commitment to inclusivity. We want all parents and families of LGBTQIA+ people to know that you are always welcome at PFLAG+ Brisbane.
PFLAG is an international peer support network. In Australia, the first PFLAG group was established in Perth in the mid-1980s by June Smythe. All Australian PFLAG groups are volunteer-run, self-funded, secular, and have no political affiliation.
While significant progress has been made, many LGBTQIA+ people still experience discrimination and exclusion. Since PFLAG began in Australia, parents and families have played an important role in advocating for the rights, wellbeing and inclusion of their LGBTQIA+ loved ones.
As parents of LGBTQIA+ children and adults, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live openly, honestly and safely, free from discrimination, exclusion and abuse.
PFLAG+ Brisbane primarily supports parents and families, but we also provide information, referrals and resources for LGBTQIA+ people, particularly those navigating the coming-out process.
We strive to be as inclusive and supportive as possible. If our resources contain terminology that is incorrect or inconsistent, we sincerely apologise and welcome your feedback.
