to be a role model for acceptance of LGBTQI people from other cultures and nationalities in Australia and around the world.

They will be role models of multicultural acceptance and settlement support- They will network and collaborate with other LGBTQI groups across Australia to promote, role model and build acceptance and support for LGBTQI people from all cultures and backgrounds
They will provide a platform for expression and coming together to communicate who they are and what they stand for- They will hold monthly and larger quarterly events for SQI community to meet and network, and also raise funds to participate in both the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade and St Patricks’ Day parade in Sydney, and other events that support their objectives, as appropriate.
