It was announced earlier this week that @startoutau , the charity that I have been the Ambassador for the last 5 years, will be winding up and passing the baton to qheadspace, by @headspace_aus

A mental health promotion charity and suicide prevention initiative with a focus on early intervention support for young (and not so young) people of diverse sexuality and gender(DSG), StartOut built an online platform to connect people with mentors and services reaching those who feel most isolated in times of need, particularly those from rural and regional Australia.

I got involved with StartOut because it was something I wish was around when I was a growing up. As Ambassador, I had the privilege of spreading the word around Australia and NZ, even taking our message to the world stage representing Australia at Mr Gay World. It has also afforded me so many amazing opportunities such as marching for StartOut in Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in 2018, co-hosting both launch events in Sydney and Melbourne, conducting the mentor training in Sydney, handing out hundreds if not thousands of free hugs at LGBTQIA+ events all around Australia and connecting with some of the most inspiring people I will ever hope to meet.

None more inspiring than these two incredible human beings to which huge commendations are owed - @adamwdent and @brendobie_ . Without your initiative, conceptualisation, persistence, hard work, time and money, none of this would ever have been possible. When you embarked on this journey, nothing else like it existed online and it is a testament to the work you have put in that other organisations and charities are now investing in digital solutions to provide support services for DSG people of all ages.

In legacy, StartOut has provided thanks to the countless volunteers, mentors, organisations and board members on the StartOut website with a link to the headspace platform moving forward.

It has been an absolute honour and privilege to have been part of something to incredibly rewarding. It is amazing to think about the impact we can unknowingly have on others, just by taking the time to share our lives, our stories and our experiences.

After 7 incredible years, today was the last day working for the company that gave me my start in property development! 👷🏼‍♂️🏗️🚧 I have learnt so much working on some of the biggest and best city defining projects here in Sydney and I'm truly going to miss the amazing people I've worked with and gotten to know over the years!

Although bittersweet, I'm excited to take that next step in my career starting Monday and I'm ready for the new challenges and opportunities that await! Bring it on!!
