25.01.2022 Are You Aware of PrEP? Take the 6 Minute Survey. Gay, bisexual men and any men (trans men inclusive) who have sex with men and live within QLD are invited to participate in a survey to understand the reach of our PrEP campaign named ComePrepd. You don't need to be using PrEP to take the survey. Your participation will be valuable in determining whether current messaging has been effective and will also guide future phases of the ComePrepd campaign. The survey is completely anonymous and will not require you to add any details that may identify you. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/comePrepd2020

24.01.2022 Today, is World AIDS Day. Each year, communities world-wide mark this day in different ways. At QC, we are speaking to our commitment to positive communities, o...ur history and where we've come from. At QC, we have re-committed to maintaining that focus this year in a number of ways, but none so more visibly as through our logo. Inspired by the work of Keith Haring, an artist who gave visibility to the ACT UP movement and the centrality of positive voices in responses to the epidemic, the heart is at the centre of all that we do - and this centrality - born from a time of AIDS Activism, is what has given us the tools to represent a far wider diversity of identities in the way that we know to be most meaningful. Led by our communities, owned by our communities, with our communities. Please keep an eye out for our posts to follow. Now, more than ever. #WorldAIDSDay2020 See more

15.01.2022 Wongutha-Yamatji man Meyne Wyatt has been awarded the 2020 Archibald Packing Room Prize for his self-portrait. His mother Susan Wyatt is also an artist and was a finalist in the Archibald Prize in 2003 for her portrait of writer Doris Pilkington (Nugi Garimarra). "Most of all I want to thank my mum, who encouraged me to enter the Archibald Prize in the first place and gave me the courage to be so bold," he said. The West Australian-born, Sydney-based artist, writer and actor is a well-known face in Australia and made headlines in June when he performed a powerful four-minute-speech from his play City Of Gold on the ABC’s Q&A program. Is there nothing that Meyne Raoul Wyatt can't do? Wow.
