Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (SGLMG)is the non-for-profit member-based organisation and is one of the oldest, continuously operating LGBTI organisations in Australia.

From these origins, SGLMG has evolved to include a strong focus on celebration while maintaining a commitment to social justice for LGBTI communities.
SGLMG encourages applications from a diverse range of applicants. We are an EEO employer and welcome applications from people who identify as sexuality, sex and/or gender diverse, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people who are differently abled.
