This specific cohort is invited based on some shared experiences when accessing, and using services. And to provide a platform for greater connection and understanding between these diverse groups.

Switchboard 's Out & About program

Out & About facilitates friendship between LGBTI seniors and peer volunteer visitors. Our experienced staff match participants and volunteers based on shared interests and hobbies, and support both people to stay engaged and connected over time.

The program coordinates regular fortnightly catch ups for mutually enjoyable activities or hobbies, such as chatting over the phone, having coffee or tea at home or in a cafe, going for walks, seeing films, attending LGBTI community events and much more.

We also host occasional events for older LGBTI+ people who are not registered participants of our program.
