Our Vision
Our vision is for a more diverse and inclusive society with visible LGBTIQ+ role models.
Pinnacle enables young LGBTIQ+ Australians to realise their full potential, overcome challenges arising from their identity, become self-reliant, maintain their dignity and give back themselves. The lasting social and economic benefits for the individual, the LGBTIQ+ community, and wider society are great.
