Recognising & Celebrating IDAHOBIT

The Department of Education is committed to ensuring all Victorian public schools are safe, respectful and inclusive. 

Schools are encouraged to recognise International Day Against LGBTIQA+ Discrimination (known as IDAHOBIT) on 17 May each year.  

IDAHOBIT is a chance to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, queer, questioning and asexual (LGBTIQA+) people in our school and community.  

By celebrating the day and promoting LGBTIQA+ inclusion, we are helping to ensure all students feel welcome and included at our school. It also helps our school to meet the Child Safe Standards, which requires us to uphold diversity and equity for everyone.  

We welcome anyone at our school who wants to mark the day to do so.  

For more information, refer to the IDAHOBIT website.  

If you have any queries, you can contact the department by email: enquiries@education.vic.gov.au
