Celebrating Pride Month with IPAC Victoria!

We are proud to join in the celebration of Pride Month this June! 

At IPAC Victoria, we believe in fostering an inclusive and supportive community where diversity is celebrated, and every voice is valued. Pride Month is a time to honor the history, achievements, and ongoing struggles for equity, rights, recognition of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and to reaffirm our commitment to equality, respect, and human rights for all.

We are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for all our members and the wider public administration community. This month, we encourage everyone to participate in local Pride events, educate themselves on 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, and support 2SLGBTQIA+ colleagues and friends.
