Hi!

We deliver impactful education, consultation, and digital content on LGBTIQA+ allyship and inclusion.

our story

2024 Melbourne Awards LGBTIQA+ Award winners

Founded by CEO Archie Beetle (they/them) in 2018, Queer Town has become the go-to training provider and consultant for leading institutions across Victoria, Australia and internationally. 

Lived experience expertise is at the heart of Queer Town. With a proven track record of driving meaningful change in schools, workplaces and events, our passionate team works collaboratively with partners to transform culture, improve policies and procedures, and educate teams so they feel confident to create environments where LGBTIQA+ people of all ages feel safe, valued, and celebrated for their authentic selves.

By fostering a culture that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion, not only do we cultivate fairness but we also unlock the full potential of all our people, improving outcomes of every measure.
