Connect and be yourself with UniSA’s Ally Network

The UniSA Ally Network is a supportive group of students and staff who stand with UniSA’s rainbow community – not just during Pride Month, but all year round!
Whether you’d like to talk to someone, have questions about gender or sexual diversity, need help finding support services, or want to get involved in inclusive activities and events – we're here to offer safe and non-judgmental support. We understand navigating life as a queer-identifying student can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Check out the full list of staff and student Allies on the Ally Network website. If you ever need a friendly ear or some extra support, feel free to reach out. We’re just an email away!

Show us your Queer joy for Pride Month
|
|
This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the inspiring, brilliant students who make up our diverse LGBTIQA+ community – and we want to hear from you. Visibility uplifts, connects and saves lives. So this June, show us what Queer joy means to you.
Share a photo of yourself that captures your Queer joy, along with a short message (up to 50 words). It could be a moment of affirmation or self-expression, a message to your younger self, a glimpse into your journey to pride, or anything that reflects your joy and identity.
The first 10 students to submit a photo and message will receive a $50 gift card. Some of the stories we receive will be featured in the next Student Life newsletter and across UniSA’s Instagram and Facebook pages.
Submissions close Sunday 22 June. Let your joy be seen!
