'On 29 August 2025, ‘Wear It Purple Day’ will unite LGBTQIA+SB young people and allies to shine a glorious light on the thousands of schools, community organisations, universities, and workplaces that are coming together to create a more inclusive future
for people across Australia.
For 15 years, people in Australia have been wearing purple to demonstrate to LGBQTIA+SB young people that they are celebrated and respected, acknowledging all have the right to be proud of who they are and who they are becoming.
Originally founded by students in response to global stories of teenagers taking their own lives due to bullying and harassment, Wear it Purple Day has become an international movement of love and support that grows every year.
This year’s theme is "Bold Voices, Bright Futures", with artwork by Lee Evatt (He/Them), winner of Wear It Purple’s Youth Action Council (YAC) Design Competition to create a campaign message and artwork in celebration of LGBTQIA+SB people openly and visibly achieving their dreams in sport, art, science and more!'
