LGBTIQA+ communities
We are proud of the diversity of our communities and support inclusion in our organisation, programs and events.
LGBTIQA+ Reference Group
The Reference Group plays an important role in guiding how the city supports LGBTIQA+ people. Members provide input on the implementation of the Hobart: A City for All Action Plan and help identify future priorities.
The group:
- provides input on key priorities and actions
- shares insights from your lived experience or community work
- helps shape focus areas such as discrimination, stigma, resilience and pride.

The City of Hobart is a proud supporter of TasPride Festival.
Every year we host the TasPride launch and raise the rainbow flags over Town Hall.
Guidance
The City of Hobart's support for LGBTIQA+ community members is guided by federal and state legislation and frameworks.
We support the approach that all people have the same rights – regardless of gender or sexuality.
Beyond our legal obligations however, we are proud to support our LGBTIQA+ communities, as we are with all communities.
The following sites provide excellent information and resources for everyone regarding rights, responsibilities and obligations.
