Moshes

Bark Bark!

We'd love to organise a mosh for the community, but events like these come with significant costs. Once NSW-PAH has the capital to fund one responsibly and do it properly, we'll be looking at making it happen.

Until then, we're focused on building the organisation's financial position and ensuring any future events are sustainable for the long term. 🤘 

Discord Server Announcements

As our community is growing and flourishing, we have decided to create a new category entitled "Town Hall". This space will consist of the following channels for the below purposes:

• ⁠#meeting-announcements for notifications on upcoming open-meetings where the entire community is welcome to attend and participate

• #⁠voting-booth for surveys and polls that require the community to make decisions that will affect how the community operates and how NSW-PAH is to provide spaces to you

• The "open meetings" VC is to be used for town hall meetings that we have where everyone is welcome to attend and make submissions

• The "closed meetings" VC is to be used for our future committee (spoilers*) to host ordinary meetings around the day-to-day management of the PAH

Thank you all for participating, showing up and connecting with one another, without you, we wouldn't exist. More updates will be communicated over the remainder of the year, that may present opportunities for people to step up and be a part of the leadership of the community as we progress through what is needed to become a Not-For-Profit. The admin team looks forward to seeing you all either online or in-person at our events.

If you are not yet a member of our Discord Server, feel free to click on the Discord icon in the banner that is located at the bottom of any page on our website and it will take you there!

Looking to join our Discord Server?

As Discord's A.I age verification is still not perfect, we along with many community over 18s groups require you to show us your ID upon joining, the only information we need to see is your face, the pic on your ID and your DOB. We do not store any personal information and we ask you to delete what you send us once an admin/mod has seen it. As the server is an 18+ age-restricted server, unless Discord has your account marked as an "Adult" account, the link to join our server will display as expired.

Any queries, feel free to reach out to us.

NSW-PAH Posters/Branding and Content Created by us

Recently we have been made aware that people seem to think that the art we have is A.I generated. To help provide clarification, we do NOT use A.I art in any of the content that we create such as event posters, branding and the like. We use Adobe Fresco/Photoshop on a Microsoft Surface Pro to draw shapes and layer color continuously to create the graphics that we use. And then use those shapes to create background layers and utilitise colour gradients. 

New Sponsor

We are thrilled to announce that NSW-PAH is now sponsored by Eagle Leather!

Eagle Leather is a premium leather, latex and fetish store that has been operating out of their Hoddle Street HQ for over 30 years.  During this time, they have become something of a community hub and a safe space for Melbourne's thriving queer and leather communities.  

In their iconic store, brightly lit and clean surroundings show off their expansive collection of high-end fetish fashion, toys, sex machines, and bondage equipment. Eagle Leather is highly regarded for their expansive leather clothing label, which is produced locally in Naarm. The crew value the quality of their gear above all else, and aim to produce high end pieces that will last you a lifetime.  They’ve also built a name for themselves in the realm of rubber, by sourcing the best quality latex from suppliers around the globe. With the largest range of latex in Melbourne, Eagle Leather’s dimly lit Rubber Room is dedicated to providing you with the ultimate rubbery shopping experience!

Eagle Leather were also awarded "Australia's Best Independent Adult Store" at the Eros Shine Awards and also won an award for “Excellence in LGBTQI+ Small Business” at the GLOBE Awards.  They are also renowned for running epic techno fetish parties under their FANTASTIC label.

Eagle Leather is a huge proponent of community engagement, sponsoring countless social groups and events in the fetish and queer communities, as well as fundraising for various charities within and outside of Australia.  Their goal is to help to cultivate a scene in Melbourne that rivals any major fetish city anywhere else in the world.

But most importantly of all, Eagle Leather is committed to making sure that every customer who walks through their doors feels welcome, included, seen, and enough, regardless of gender, sexuality, religion, race, age, body shape, or any other factor. This is a brand for all!
