JOY Media Information

For more than 30 years, JOY Media has been the out, loud, proud voice of Australia’s LGBTQIA+ communities. JOY Media is Australia’s not-for-profit rainbow community media organisation, made up of the diverse voices of the LGBTQIA+ rainbow. Powered by 200+ volunteers and led by a small, passionate leadership team, JOY’s broadcasters, producers, newsreaders, creators, and curators deliver quality community media, every hour, every day of the year. What started in 1993 with the original purpose of bringing together a devastated and isolated gay community facing the AIDS crisis has evolved into an organisation which informs, entertains, and empowers LGBTQIA+ communities and our allies across Australia and the world, with a new purpose: building a more inclusive Australia. Through the biggest challenges Australia’s rainbow community have faced, JOY has been there to ensure our community are connected. JOY Media represents the people, stories, news, music, and lived experiences of Australia's LGBTIQA+ community and our allies.
