Rainbow Rack is Geelong Rainbow’s private, pay-what-you-can, gender-affirming retail service. The program offers a safe, welcoming and supportive space where LGBTQIA+ people can explore fashion, express their identity and discover what makes them feel comfortable and confident.
Alongside a personalised shopping experience, Rainbow Rack provides access to a range of gender-affirming clothing and items, including bras, binders and other garments. We also offer a private measurement service, where participants can receive their body measurements and sizing information to help them find clothing and gender-affirming garments that fit comfortably and feel right for them.
Rainbow Rack also provides practical guidance in makeup, everyday grooming, hair care, styling and positive self-image. Complete this expression of interest to tell us what you’re looking for, what support you’d like, and how we can make your experience comfortable, affirming and accessible.
