Pride Month
2024-06-01 - 2024-06-30
It’s time to break out the rainbow flags and celebrate Pride Month from 1 June! This month has been around since 1970 when it was first created to honor the Stonewall Uprising which took place in New York City. It’s also a great opportunity for people from all walks of life to come together and show their support for the LGBTQ+ community. There are many fun ways you can support this holiday and make it extra memorable – from attending pride parades to simply wearing rainbow-coloured clothing 🏳️‍🌈.

Tax appeal
2024-06-01 08:00 - 2024-06-30 17:00 (Australia/Brisbane)
Your donation this tax time will create spaces where you can feel, see, and hear the impact you’re making.
Multisensory rooms provide gentle sensory stimulation that helps to increase concentration and focus, promote mental and physical relaxation, offer a sense of security and calmness, and process overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
We’re on a mission to raise $100,000 to build multisensory spaces right across the country – and we need your help.
Our existing multisensory rooms have shown real benefits, helping with sensory development, reducing anxiety, and enhancing the overall day-to-day wellbeing of our clients and supported employees.
We now want to roll these out to as many sites and hubs as we can, so that hundreds more people with disability can benefit from this incredible resource.
With your support, we can make that happen!

National Tourette Syndrome Awareness Week
2024-06-02 - 2024-06-08
Tourettes is a nervous system condition that causes repetitive movements and undesirable vocalisations. While a lot of the community has a concept of what Tourettes is, many do not understand the reality of it. We must educate ourselves to create more inclusive environments for people with Tourettes.
Tourettes Awareness Week is held by Tourette Syndrome Association Australia (TSAA) every year in the first week of June.

Queensland Theatre's COST OF LIVING performance season
2024-06-22 14:00 - 2024-07-13 21:00 | Bille Brown Theatre, South Brisbane, Queensland Theatre, 78 Montague Road, South Brisbane, Brisbane, Queensland, 4101, Australia
Queensland Theatre’s COST OF LIVING Bille Brown Theatre Until 13 July (various performances Mon-Sat – check times on webpage for evenings 6.30pm/7.30pm and matinees Wed and Sat) Does love have a bottom line? Former carer turned Playwright Martyna Majok won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for this play in 2018 and it’s easy to see why. This is a beautifully rendered story about our need to care (or be cared for) no matter the distance that age, class, race and disability might place between us. Told with deft humour and enormous heart, the Australian premiere of this highly-lauded work is directed by Priscilla Jackman (The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race) and Dan Daw, also appearing as John, with Philip Quast as Eddie, Kate Hood as Ani and Zoe de Plevitz as Jess. Martyna Majok won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Cost of Living. The play centres on two sets of relationships. John, a wealthy student at Princeton University with cerebral palsy, hires the secretive Jess as his carer. Meanwhile, unemployed truck driver Eddie tries to reconcile with his ex-wife Ani, who has become a wheelchair user after an accident. This co-production between Queensland Theatre and Sydney Theatre Company is co-directed by Priscilla Jackman and Dan Daw, who plays John. “It’s an incredibly powerful story about the intersection of people [who have a] lived experience of disability and those who don’t, and people who have the privilege of money and those who don’t,” says Kip Williams, Artistic Director of STC. “Worth its weight in gold”— The New York Times “Sensational! The kind of theatre that imprints on the body and lives in your bones”— Variety A bit more about the play and artists at this link: https://queenslandtheatre.com.au/plays/cost-of-living Warning – This production contains full frontal male nudity, underwater submersion, occasional strong language, herbal and e-cigarettes and the use of haze.
