Published on 19 February 2026

Council is welcoming expressions of interest from members of the community to join the Hindmarsh Pride Committee.

What is the purpose of the Hindmarsh Pride Committee?
The Hindmarsh Pride Committee was established by Hindmarsh Shire Council to strengthen the voices of the LGBTIQ+ community.

The committee provides advice to Council to ensure that its broader policy issues, Council Plan and programs reflect the interests of the LGBTIQ+ community in Hindmarsh.

The key objectives of the Committee are to:

• Provide a representative sample of independent and authentic voices of people from the LGBTIQ+ community, with an ability to advise on current and emerging issues and priorities;
• Provide feedback and advice to Council on broader policy issues;
• Promote and assist Council to celebrate LGBTIQ+ days of significance and host events within Hindmarsh Shire;
• Assist Council to promote the benefits of diversity and enhance understanding about the barriers to equality facing LGBTIQ+ communities; and

• Report to Council via the tabling of minutes at Council meetings after each meeting.

If you are a passionate member or ally of the LGBTIQ+ community and interested in becoming a member of this committee, please complete the expression of interest form linked on Council’s website at www.hindmarsh.vic.gov.au/pride.

Expressions of interest are rolling; you can apply at any time.
