Pride in every step at Midsumma Pride March

6 February 2026

Colour, music and community spirit filled Fitzroy Street in St Kilda on Sunday as the TIO’s people took part in Midsumma Pride March.

The TIO is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and we welcome and support LGBTQ+ people. We believe inclusion only matters if it shows up in the things we do – like marching at Midsumma.

Our people walked alongside LGBTQ+ families and allies, supporting inclusion and safety for everyone. It was a day about coming together and celebrating the diverse communities that make Australia stronger.

Ombudsman Cynthia Gebert reflects on what Midsumma Pride March means to her in the TIO context.

“It’s about recognising the diversity of people who work with us. We have amazing people who support each other and support the community we serve. Taking part today lets us show that support, not only for our team, but for the broader Australian community too.”
