Acknowledgement of our LGBTQIA+ Community

Gidget Foundation Australia recognises the critical importance of diversity and inclusion. We understand that our community is rich and diverse, encompassing individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and identities.

We affirm our commitment to creating spaces and services that are welcoming to all members of our LGBTQIA+ community. By embracing inclusivity, we honour the full spectrum of human experience as we work together to dismantle barriers to equality and amplify marginalised voices. Together, we will continue to strive for a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued for who they are.

Gidget Foundation Australia recognises all those with lived experience of perinatal mental ill-health and their loved ones.
Lived experience is at the heart of everything we do, and we carry these experiences gently with compassion and respect.
We are truly grateful for all those who choose to share their stories and we acknowledge those who carry these stories quietly.
