The Space LGBTQIA+ group

City of Melton’s safe and inclusive space for young people aged 12 to 25. The Space is a social support group for same sex attracted, transgender, gender diverse and intersex young people who live, work, study or play in the Melton region.

The Space is a safe place to meet like-minded young people and hang out, share stories and support one another. This program is an initiative of Melton City Council’s Young Communities.

We provide a range of services and support to ensure that the strength and diversity of LGBTQIA+ young people are valued, celebrated and affirmed in the Melton region.
