Diverse Voices Works alongside QLife who provides Australia-wide anonymous, LGBTI peer support and referral for people wanting to talk about a range of issues including sexuality, identity, gender, bodies, feelings or relationships.
History
GLWA was originally known as the Homosexual Community Welfare Service (HCWS). ‘Homosexual’ was used for a number of reasons – it was an inclusive word at a time when the distinctions between gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people had not become as clearly defined as they are today.
DIVERSE VOICES IS MAINLY OPERATED BY VOLUNTEERS.
Being a not-for-proft, this means we need your help.
IMPORTANT: NEW INTAKE FOR PEER SUPPORTER VOLUNTEERS:
We hold our intake once a year in March, with shortlisting and interviews beginning in January.
All applications that are submitted throughout the year are placed on a waitlist and we will contact applicants to confirm interest, interviews, and training dates closer to the end of each year.
