Welcome to Better Pride, dedicated to celebrating and supporting diverse LGBTIQ+ families and the community. Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where individuals, couples, and families can access support services provided by practitioners who are proud members and allies of the LGBTIQ+ community, ensuring culturally sensitive and empowering care.

Better Pride was formed four years ago as an initiative of the family support organisation Better Place Australia in response to what our lived experience practitioners and clients were saying there are gaps in mainstream family relationships and separation services.

Rather than just flag waving, we began a program of developing safe services to comply with the Rainbow Tick Accreditation. COVID intervened somewhat, but we were able in early 2024 to achieve our accreditation across all aspects of our service. The Tick is a means of ensuring our clients and families feel safely supported.

Our services focus on community members considering starting a family and seeking stronger family connections or a better way to separate. Our practitioners have mostly lived experience with some allies. All our Better Pride practitioners through experience and training can respond to the unique challenges experienced by families in their journey through love, conflict and moving on.

Whether you’re a biological, social, or chosen family; together, separated, or in transition, we’re here for you.
