Applications are sought from:

Membership

LGBTQIA+ Roundtable members discuss and highlight emerging issues, challenges and opportunities relevant to Queensland LGBTQIA+ people and communities and to share your knowledge and lived experience at formal meetings, as well as out of session on occasion (for example, reading and providing feedback on draft strategies or policies).

Membership is for a two-year term (2025–2027) with meetings held quarterly, predominantly in-person, for up to approximately 3 hours. It is expected that the first meeting of the 2025-2027 term will be held in the September-December quarter of 2025.
