Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards | Friday 30 May | Sydney
The Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards is an event celebrating and awarding Australia’s top organisations for LGBTQ+ inclusion based on the results of the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI).
We will be hosting this unforgettable event once again at the stunning ICC Grand Ballroom, Sydney. The on-stage hosts will be the incomparable Ricardo Gonçalves and Madeleine Wedesweiler from SBS.
Australian World Music Star MITCH TAMBO, a proud Gamilaraay man who blends traditional Aboriginal sounds and language with contemporary beats and production will be performing at the event. Mitch will be joined by the captivating VOICE OF LELE! You can check out Mitch Tambo performing here.
The event includes the Awards Ceremony, a three-course lunch, drinks and time for networking and photos. The Awards are attended by CEOs, dignitaries, senior executives, HR and diversity practitioners, employee network leaders, and members of LGBTQ+ employee networks and allies, all which have made a significant impact to LGBTQ+ inclusion in their workplaces.
The Awards is regarded by many as a must-attend event on the LGBTQ+ calendar and is widely shared across corporate and personal social media platforms.

Sweat With Pride
💦 FIGHT DISCRIMINATION WITH PERSPIRATION 💦
Sweat for 21 minutes every day this Pride Month in June to raise funds for life-changing support for rainbow communities.
💦 HOW YOUR SWEAT WILL CHANGE LIVES 💦
Almost 3 million Australians identify as sexuality and gender diverse. Despite significant progress, our communities are far from equal. Our communities have the highest rates of suicidality compared with any other populations in Australia.
Things need to change.
ACON has partnered with Rainbow Giving Australia for Sweat With Pride, a new initiative challenging Aussies to tackle discrimination with perspiration this June.
Work up a sweat for at least 21 minutes every day during Pride Month and get your friends and family to sponsor you to support essential mental, physical and sexual health services for rainbow communities in Australia.
💦 IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE TO SIGN UP! 💦
Choose your trainer, set your fundraising goal, and just like that, you’ll be ready to Sweat with Pride.
Run, walk, wheel, shimmy or skate – there’s no wrong way to get your sweat on. So what are you waiting for? On your marks, get sweaty, go!

ABOUT BINGAY
Bingay is gay bingo which means there’s classic disco tunes, weird rules and penalties, outrageous antics, hilarious repartee, deliciously lewd bingo calls, and prizes that range from the silly and camp to great theatre tickets and restaurant vouchers.
Bingay hostess Charisma Belle oversees the madcap proceedings and Bingay’s long time barrel babe Naomi Palmer spins the balls and sings up a storm.
Bingay takes over the upstairs bar of The Beresford Darlinghurst on the second Thursday of every month, with each monthly event having a fabulously flamboyant theme.
Bingay’s balls first dropped in 1999, making it one of Sydney’s longest running LGBTQ community events + it raises money for our HIV and LGBTQ health services.
So whether you’re a regular or a novice, or a local or visitor to Sydney, if you’re up for a wonderfully camp mid-week entertainment experience, then you can’t go wrong with Bingay.
