Better Together 2025
Shared Heart, Different Minds: Join Australia’s Rainbow Gathering for Change
We’re excited to invite Australia’s rainbow communities and allies to come together for the 7th National LGBTIQA+ Community Conference, Better Together® 2025, happening 31 October to 1 November on Kaurna Country (Adelaide, South Australia).
More than a conference, this is a national gathering grounded in a simple but powerful idea: we don’t need to think the same to move forward together.
Our 2025 Theme: Shared Heart, Different Minds
At a time when division feels easy and polarisation runs deep, Better Together® invites us to sit with difference, and stay. We’re creating a space where passionate hearts and diverse minds come together to share stories, spark ideas, and challenge each other with generosity and courage.
What to Expect
This isn’t your standard sit-and-listen conference. Think:
Hands-on workshops
Real talk in community-led panels
Short, sharp BetterThink talks (inspired by TED Talks) that get to the heart of pressing issues in under 20 minutes
You’ll walk away with fresh insights, new connections, and a sense that your voice matters in shaping the future of our rainbow communities.
Who’s It For?
Everyone. Truly. We’re welcoming:
First-timers and long-time activists
Multicultural and multi-faith communities
People from rural, regional and remote areas
Members of the Deaf community
People with lived experience of disability
Refugees and people seeking asylum
Allies who show up and back us, every time
If you’ve got something to say or something to learn, you belong here.
Accessible. Inclusive. Community-Led.
We’re proud to offer accessible pricing, scholarships, and a program shaped by the community. We’re redefining what a “conference” looks and feels like; this is a place where anyone with an idea can step up and take part.
Why Now?
Because real change begins when we stop talking about each other and start talking with each other.
Better Together® is where we practice that—imperfectly, bravely and always with the goal of deeper connection.
