Busselton Pride Alliance Inc.

About Our Board

Our Structure

Busselton Pride Alliance is an incorporated association registered with the WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety, and we operate under the Associations Incorporation Act 2015.

Our board members are all long term LGBTQ+ rights campaigners and come from a range of professions including nurses, artists, musicians, mental health services, and a former Federal Senator.

While our board and event helpers are all volunteers, we take our roles and professionalism seriously as we engage with Local and State Government departments and local businesses.

In the 2000s, Brian helped found national lobby group the Australian Council for Lesbian and Gay Rights, later representing WA for Australian Marriage Equality. Brian has been an advocate and campaigner for LGBTQIA+ people for 30 years, for which he was awarded Australian Honours in 2011. With a background in politics, media and communications, Brian moved to Busselton in 2019 with his partner and their two rescue dogs for a sea-change.
