People in the Rainbow Community deserve to age well.
Presented in partnership with Office for Ageing Well and Seniors Card, the Festival for the Future is a two-day event to support LGBTIQA+ people living in the regions, connecting attendees to new people, new ideas and new services.
LGBTIQA+ people face unique legal, financial, health and aged care challenges. The Festival for the Future brings service providers to the regions, creating connections to these services for LGBTIQA+ people as they age, and building capacity within this community by building knowledge through facilitated sessions, and space for one-on-one conversation with these services.
If you are a member of the LGBTIQA+ community aged over 45, someone caring for an LGBTIQA+ person and you wish to support them in ageing well, or are a service provider to this community, join us in Mt Gambier on 2-3 October at the Festival for the Future.
The full cost of your ticket, excluding platform fees, will be refunded for those who attend the entire two-day event. Tickets will be refunded to attendees in the week after Festival for the Future.
