The department is responsible for organising social events (like our fortnightly G&Ts with LGBTs event in Ida Bar in Building 168), hosting collectives for different identities and experiences, and advocating on behalf of the queer community at the university. Plus, we have the Queer Space (Level 3 of Building 168, Student Precinct) where all students are encouraged to come hang out, relax, or even take a nap. It's full of free resources like tea, coffee, snacks, menstrual products, and more!
