Celebrating LGBTIQA+ communities at Midsumma 2026

Celebrating LGBTIQA+ communities at Midsumma 2026

Everyone is welcome at Holstep Health!

Yesterday, thousands of people came together at Midsumma Carnival 2026 to celebrate LGBTIQA+ communities. It was a fantastic chance to connect with others and highlight our rainbow health services and support available.

We understand some people in the LGBTIQA+ community may avoid care because of fear of discrimination, which can affect their health. That’s why we are a Rainbow Tick-accredited health service, meaning our care is inclusive, respectful, and supportive of LGBTIQA+ health and wellbeing.

Our Gambler’s Help program also joined Metro Gambler’s Help, IPC Health, Each, and The Salvation Army to raise awareness of free support to reduce gambling-related harms.

Midsumma Festival runs until 9 February, with events happening across Victoria. Take a look at what’s on near you and join in the celebration.

Find out more about our LGBTIQA+ health services and support.
