LGBT+ Social Hub Melbourne

With dating apps linked to stress, anxiety, poor body image, and low self-esteem, it's no wonder more and more people are looking to make connections in the real world - that's where we come in!

If you're gay man looking to meet some new people, whether it's for romantic or social connections, this could be the opportunity you're looking for. This is for men of all ages (18+).

The event will be hosted by a mental health professional, and aims to provide a safe place for everyone; discrimination, harassment, abuse and consent violations will not be tolerated.

How It Works
- An experienced host will provide structure, and will be available for queries throughout the event
- Attendees are divided into two groups and cycle through 10 minute dates at random
- Some short breaks are provided in between batches of dates to give people the chance to mingle and reset
- We don't do scorecards; members are encouraged to create their own opportunities
- A list of prompt questions will be available on each table for our shy friends

Would you like to meet some queer folks in the South Eastern suburbs? Come along to Wilson Botanic Park for a picnic where we'll aim to help you do just that! This is a social event for people of all genders/sexualities.

We'll be teaming up with Rainbow Social Melbourne to put the word out to as many people in the area as possible, and hopefully get a decent sized crew.

Bring a picnic blanket, an outdoor chair, and your own lunch or some food to share. We'll get set up somewhere near the coffee stand. If the weather is unwilling, we'll re-schedule to the next possible weekend.

This event will be hosted by Ben, a mental health professional who's passionate about social inclusion and addressing loneliness within the community.

The LGBT+ Social Hub aims to provide a safe space for everyone; harassment, discrimination, bullying, and consent violations will not be tolerated.

Welcome to Regional Spotlight: Geelong — a bold, grassroots celebration of queer community, connection, and creativity in regional Victoria. This is more than an event — it's the beginning of a movement.

Led by LGBTQIAPN+ volunteers and proudly presented by Euphoria Social, Regional Spotlight: Geelong is the pilot launch of a statewide series creating safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces for queer folks living outside the metro bubble.

Join us for a vibrant event and peer-led connection — designed by and for the community. The event will showcase local queer artists and meaningful partnerships with Geelong-based venues, health providers, and businesses. Whether you’re here to dance, connect, perform, or simply be in joyful community — this is for you.

This celebration invites everyone across the LGBTQIAPN+ spectrum (and our allies) to come as they are. We believe queer joy should never be postcode-dependent — and that rural and regional voices deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

Let’s grow something beautiful together — starting in Geelong.
