🏳️‍🌈 Celebrating LGBTQIA+ History Month

October is LGBTQIA+ History Month, a time to celebrate the contributions, resilience and achievements of LGBTQIA+ communities, reflect on the progress made towards equality, and recognise the work still to be done.

From the first Sydney Mardi Gras in 1978 to the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Australia in 2017, every milestone has helped shape a more inclusive future. 💜

But inclusion goes beyond awareness days and celebrations. It’s about the everyday actions that help people feel safe, respected and valued — listening to lived experiences, using inclusive language, respecting how people identify and speaking up when we see discrimination.

This month, Lives Lived Well is proud to take part in Brisbane Pride, celebrating diversity, connecting with our community and showing our support for LGBTQIA+ people. 🏳️‍🌈

Everyone deserves to feel they belong. Let’s keep learning, showing up for one another and turning allyship into action, this month and every month.

📸 Celebrating the winners of our 3rd Staff Photo Competition!

Our annual photo competition is an internal celebration of the creativity and perspective of our Lives Lived Well team — and this year, our staff captured some truly beautiful moments.

We’re excited to now share this year’s winning photos with our wider community. 🎉

🏆 All Rounder – Chris Nikolic
Chris captured a green tree snake that made a surprise appearance while he was photographing his garden and the wildlife that visits.

🏆 Human Interest – Nirvana Gillin
Nirvana captured a Sunday activity at Mirikai, where residents collected natural materials and created a beautiful nature mandala together — an activity that encouraged creativity, connection, mindfulness and teamwork.

🏆 Natural Environment – Nicholas Antuar
Nicholas captured an intriguing view of Queensland waterways, with what appears to be a path leading out into the water.

A big congratulations to Chris, Nirvana and Nicholas, and thank you to everyone who took part. We loved seeing the world through the eyes of our team. 💚

🌱From Plot to Plate: Growing confidence, connection and wellbeing.

What started as a simple gardening activity at Watershed has blossomed into something much more!

Led by Gail, Plot to Plate brings residents together to garden, forage, cook and learn new skills while building confidence, strengthening relationships and supporting their wellbeing.

Whether it's learning something new, sharing a laugh over a meal or simply enjoying time in the garden, these small moments help residents build a sense of purpose, belonging and connection.

Because wellbeing isn't just about the big milestones. Sometimes, it starts with planting a seed, sharing a meal and growing together. 💚

The headspace Caloundra Youth Advisory Council (YAC) recently joined local Kabi Kabi artist Tisha Davis for a creative workshop exploring the culture, stories and history of the Caloundra region.

Participants also created individual artworks to take home and added their handprints to the collaborative piece, which Tisha beautifully completed.

Young people had the opportunity to learn about artefacts, their purpose and their importance to the custodians of Country, while creating artwork together.

The result is a beautiful collaborative piece now proudly displayed at the headspace Caloundra office, alongside complementary artwork created by YAC member Lilly.

Sharing Zartisha's words about the inspiration for the piece:

"Community represents people coming together, gathering, supporting one another, teamwork, sharing story and gaining knowledge and understanding that everyone is on their own unique journey but can still come together to create something special."

"The waterways and Sea Country are heavily represented in this artwork, reflecting the Caloundra area. headspace Caloundra is a safe space and meeting place for young people depicted in the gathering circles."

A wonderful example of young people, culture and community coming together through creativity. ✨

Bisexuality comes with a lot of myths. Today, we're busting some of them. 🩷💜💙

From "it's just a phase" to "you have to pick a side" — these ideas about bi+ people are common, but they're not true. Swipe through to see the facts.

Bisexual people are a huge part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and they deserve to be seen, believed, and included — not questioned or erased.

Happy Bi Visibility Day. 🏳️‍🌈

A big shout out to our Mackay Team!

Yesterday, the Mackay team brought people together at Lamberts Beach for a free community BBQ to recognise R U OK? Day and World Su***de Prevention Day.

It was a fantastic day of connection, conversation and community and a great example of our team getting out there, showing up and creating opportunities for people to come together. 🌭☀️

A huge thank you to everyone in the Mackay team who helped make the day happen. Your time, energy and commitment to our community doesn’t go unnoticed! 💚💙

We’d also like to thank BMA for generously providing the sausages and bread for the BBQ. We really appreciate your support in helping make the day possible.

Great work team! 👏💚
