About us
Welcome to LGBT+ Social Hub Melbourne 🌈
We’re a fast-growing queer social community bringing people together through relaxed, welcoming events across Melbourne.
From speed dating and singles nights to dinners, cocktail parties, creative socials, and casual meetups, our events are designed to help people genuinely connect - whether you’re coming alone or with friends.
Many of our events now regularly sell out, with people joining us from all across Melbourne to make friends, meet partners, and feel more connected to community.
Our vision is simple:
to create healthier, more connected community by reducing loneliness and making it easier for LGBT+ people to find their people.
To stay in the loop and get exclusive discounts on tickets, please consider joining our mailing list!
We also welcome collaboration with other queer organisers and community groups, so please feel free to reach out anytime at lgbtsocial@kind-mind.au

Social Night - Casey Queer Collective
Berwick, Parkhill Drive, AUCome join the Casey Queer Collective for a social night and meet some local queers in the city of Casey and surrounds.
This is a monthly event and held on the 4th Monday of every month.
The vibe of this event is casual and low-pressure. It's a space to socialise, share food and make friends.
📅 Monday 25th May @ 7pm
📍 Berwick - meeting location will be sent to registered attendees.
🍔 Bring a plate of food or drinks to share.
💰 Gold coin donation + once off $15 membership fee if you attend more than once.
If it's your first time joining us, you're welcome to trial the social night before you pay the membership fee. However, anyone attending more than once needs to become a member. This ensures we're covered by insurances and helps keep our costs low.
The aim of this event is to create space for queer people to socialise and build community. There are so few spaces dedicated specifically to us, especially in the outer suburbs.
If you are an ally or supporter, we appreciate you. However please mindful that this event is a dedicated space for people who identify as LGBTQIA+ only.
Please reach out to Charli Violet or caseyqueercollective@gmail.com if you have any questions or join the private Facebook group for updates

We’re heading to The 86 in Fitzroy for a fresh take on helping you connect with women seeking women (all ages 18+).Instead of intense one-on-one chats, you’ll connect in relaxed groups of four - making it easier to find your rhythm, bounce off others, and let conversation flow naturally.
Every 15 minutes, we’ll reshuffle the groups at random to keep the energy fresh and the dynamics interesting.
After a couple of hours, the structure will drop and anyone who’d like to stay can continue connecting organically.
This format is ideal for women who:
• Prefer something social and low-pressure
• Enjoy group dynamics
• Want something structured, but not rigidThe event is facilitated by a mental health professional and is designed to feel welcoming and safe.
