OUR STORY

About

Trikone Australia

Trikone Australia was founded in 2010 by a group of passionate individuals who recognised the need for a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals of South Asian heritage in Australia. Inspired by the original Trikone organisation in the United States, we set out to create a community that celebrates our diverse identities and fosters a sense of belonging.


Over the years, we have grown from a small gathering of friends to a thriving organisation with a national presence, hosting events, providing resources, and advocating for the rights of our community.
