Volunteering Opportunities
QLife Peer Supporter
QLife Peer Supporter volunteers provide support through the phone and webchat service. Volunteers work alongside QLife staff members. QLife is a free and anonymous peer support and referral service for LGBTIQ+ people. It is available via phone and webchat.
LGBTIQ+ Health Australia coordinate QLife in partnership with state-based LGBTIQ+ organisations. QLife is run by paid staff and trained volunteers. Living Proud operates QLife from our central Perth location.

- Be available on weekday evenings
