Living Proud follows the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations
We are proud of ourselves and of our community. No LGBTIQA+SB person should have to fear violence or
discrimination and we celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance with pride.
Our story starts with the ‘Campaign Against Moral Persecution (CAMP)’ and ‘Phone a Friend’. CAMP is the foundational group for many Perth LGBTIQA+SB organisations.
