Pride Flight proudly supports Minus18
Minus18 is Australia’s charity improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth via life-affirming events, digital resources, visibility campaigns, and education for the whole community. Every year, more than 5000 queer young people attend free events, 25,000 people attend workshops, inclusion training and support, while millions access LGBTQIA+ resources digitally – all hosted by Minus18.
In 2024, Virgin Australia will celebrate three years of our partnership with Minus18 via a $30 donation from every ticket sold.

The Belonging Strategy outlines our commitment to creating a culture that makes everyone — no matter their gender, marital or family status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, abilities, ethnicity, religious beliefs, socio-economic or cultural background, perspective and experience feel safe, included, and valued. From the conversations we have, to the decisions we make, to the systems and processes we design: You belong, we include.
