Please check back in for future job vacancies and opportunities.

QC began as a volunteer-run, community organisation as a response to the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s.

We now cover all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy communities.


We need volunteers to work in a range of areas, from outreach to gay venues, health promotion at LGBTI events, graphic design, fundraising and visiting older LGBTI people (and even some gardening at our Cairns office!). No matter where you live throughout our vast state of Queensland, we may have volunteering opportunities available.
