The Welcome Here Project is a national initiative that supports local businesses and service providers to create welcoming and visibly inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ people. Building on the legacy of the original Safe Place Project (1992), this program helps foster safer, more connected communities by promoting visibility, celebration, and inclusion.
Participating businesses and organisations commit to:
- Welcoming and including LGBTQ+ people
- Creating positive change in their local community
- Celebrating LGBTQ+ diversity
Members receive a Welcome Here rainbow sticker and charter to display onsite or online, showing their public support and commitment. ACON also provides access to resources and visibility campaigns, including participation in LGBTQ+ Diversity Days.
By becoming a Welcoming Place, members help create a more inclusive Australia where LGBTQ+ people feel safe, supported, and celebrated.
