QHub provides a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for LGBTIQA+ young people and their families.
With a focus on mental health, wellbeing, and social connection, QHub fosters a sense of belonging in a welcoming environment where everyone is valued and supported.

Supporting LGBTIQA+ young people and their families
Cafs is a proud partner of QHub, a vital initiative that delivers co-designed, place-based services for LGBTIQA+ young people – up to 25 years of age – and their families or carers across our region.
QHub offers a safe and inclusive drop-in space where young people can access wrap-around support, build social connections, and experience a strong sense of belonging. The program fosters positive peer and intergenerational role models and hosts a variety of educational and community events.
All services are free, affirming, and accessible. They are delivered by a dedicated team of queer-identifying staff who bring lived experience and deep understanding to their work. In addition to direct support, QHub also provides community capacity building and inclusion training, helping to create safer, more inclusive environments for LGBTIQA+ people across our communities.
Together, we are building a future where every young person feels seen, supported, and celebrated just as they are.
