We’re inviting our community to don their Gig Buddies’ merch, take a snap and then share their best selfie.
For our latest competition we’re giving buddies the chance to win one of two $50 gift vouchers!

Once you’ve taken your photo(s), either share via social media and tag us on Facebook or Instagram, or upload your picture to our website.
We’re urging our community to get creative! The closing date is Saturday 27 September. Buddies can submit as many entries as they like. The Gig Buddies’ team will notify the winners (as selected by us) on Monday 29 September.

Going, going, (almost) gone
So far in August we’ve completed two Gig Buddies’ socials, six are fully booked and the remaining two are on the verge of selling out.
Our gatherings in Bondi, Epping, Crows Nest, Erina and Eastwood have sold out. Be quick if you would like to join us in Brookvale or Banksia.
Put a spring in your step.....
And tickets to our September socials are starting to shift.
So far the glow bowls outing in North Sydney has sold out, while our Lisarow, Ryde and CBD catch ups are on the verge of booking out.

People with Disability Australia (PWDA) have made a survey for LGBTQIA+ people with disability.
Taken from their website, LGBTQIA+ is about who you are attracted to and how you feel about yourself.
In conjunction with Inclusion Australia, they’ve created an Easy Read version of their survey. Responses are anonymous and it closes on Monday 8 September.

The beautiful game is back!
And lastly, in five days’ time the English Premier League returns. To mark the 2025/26 season we’ve created our very own FPL (Fantasy Premier League) mini league.
FPL is the official fantasy football game of the EPL. Last season over 11 million people played the globally popular game and, as the new season looms, we’ve decided to join the party!
