A UQ Union community group at for members of the UQ LGBTQIA+ Community.
We facilitate social, charitable, educational, and political events. All members of the UQ community who identify as queer and/or LGBTQIA+ are automatic members of the Queer Collective. Allies are welcome at our public events. The UQU queer community under its many names has seen the decriminalisation of homosexuality, the introduction of the Anti-Discrimination Act, the Marriage Equality acts, the hosting of numerous national conference, and hundreds of events.
Today, we the UQU Queer Collective are proud to offer regular events, advocacy campaigns, mutual aid, a community, friendship, and support.
The dedicated community hub on the St Lucia campus is known as the Carden Queer Room and is used by LGBTQIA+ students only (allies are welcome as guests). The room is used as a study space, social space, a place to wear gender affirming wear, and a place to hide away. Carden has a kitchenette and an extensive tea collection, so come on by and chill out!
Who can become a member?
If you are a UQ LGBTQIA+ and/or queer student you are automatically apart of the Queer Collective and are welcome to attend events, join social media groups, and kick back at the Carden Queer Room.
