Supporting the Victorian LGBTIQA+ Community for 30 years
GLOBE Victoria is a not-for-profit Community Organisation that unites Victorian LGBTIQA+ professionals and Small Businesses through social, professional networking, training and development focused events.
In its 30th year, GLOBE Victoria continues to move from strength to strength in its mandate to assist the growth of Victoria’s LGBTIQA+ communities through creating strong connections for professionals and Small Business owners.
In addition to our much-loved monthly networking events, where we provide like-minded people with a space to forge long lasting connections, GLOBE Victoria also provides value to LGBTIQA+ communities through:
Our Focus On program, featuring different topics of discussion and aims to provide a platform for different people within our community to engage with GLOBE Victoria members.
Our, GLOBE Growth development programs, where in partnership with our corporate members, we’ve designed a series of professional development sessions accessible to all. As well as an additional series of sessions designed specifically for the development and growth of LGBTIQA+ owned Small Businesses.
