Help & training

Everything you need to know — in one place.

A guide to every part of the platform: signing up, events, check-ins, safe spaces, discounts, points, hosting, businesses and more. Jump to a section below.

Account & sign-up

Joining, signing in, and managing your profile.

How do I sign up?
Tap Join in the top-right, enter your email and a password, then confirm via the link we send you. You can also continue with Google for one-tap sign-in.
I forgot my password — what now?
On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot password. We'll email a reset link. Use any password you like — we don't enforce strength rules, it's your call.
How do I update my name, photo or pronouns?
Sign in and visit Dashboard → Profile. Changes save instantly.
Can I delete my account?
Yes — email us from the address on your account and we'll remove it within 7 days.

Events & RSVPs

Finding, saving, and turning up to wellness events.

Where do I see what's on?
The Events page lists every upcoming event — filter by type, suburb or date.
How do RSVPs work?
Tap RSVP on any event. You can un-RSVP any time. RSVPs help the host plan but aren't a ticket — just turn up.
What's a Collab event?
A Collab event is run by another organiser and listed on our calendar with a Collab badge. RSVP and check-in happens on their own page — tap Visit organiser.
How do I save events for later?
Tap the heart icon. They'll appear in My List.

Check-ins & Pride Points

Earning points for showing up.

How do I earn Pride Points?
Turn up to a GC Pride hosted event and scan the host's QR code (or enter the 6-digit code) on your phone. Points are added instantly to your account.
Where do I see my points?
On your Dashboard. The community leaderboard lives at Leaderboard.
I forgot to check in at an event — can it be backdated?
The host can confirm attendance from their dashboard for up to 24 hours after the event. Message them or DM us on Instagram.
What can I do with points?
Climb the leaderboard, unlock perks at Rewards, and get first dibs on limited-spot events.

Safe-space directory

Finding LGBTQIA+-friendly venues, gyms and cafés.

How do I find safe spaces near me?
Open the Directory and filter by suburb or category. Each listing shows what makes the space inclusive.
How are spaces verified?
Businesses self-apply and agree to our inclusion code. Members can flag any space that doesn't feel safe — we follow up within 48 hours.
How do I report a venue?
Open the listing and tap Report, or DM us on Instagram. Reports are confidential.

Member discounts

Saving money at our partner businesses.

Who can use member discounts?
Any signed-in member. Visit Member Discounts to browse what's on offer.
How do I redeem a discount in store?
Tap the discount and show the unique code (or screenshot) at the counter. Online discounts come with a copy-able code.
My code didn't work — help?
Try refreshing the page to load a fresh code. If it still fails, message us with the business name and we'll sort it.

Pride Points & rewards

Turning showing up into perks.

How are points calculated?
You earn points for checking in at events, attending consistently, and contributing (e.g. sharing a story or hosting). Bonus point events are flagged on the event card.
Do points expire?
No — once you've earned them, they're yours.

Buddies

Finding a workout / event buddy.

What is the Buddies feature?
Opt in to be matched with other members nearby looking for an event buddy. Visit Buddies to enable it.
Is it like a dating app?
Nope — it's strictly platonic, focused on wellness and showing up together. No swipes, no DMs about anything else.

Stories & blog

Reading and contributing community stories.

How do I share my story?
Sign in and head to Share your story. We review for safety and publish within a few days.
Where do stories appear?
Published stories live on the Blog and get shared in our newsletter and socials.

Hosting events

Running an event under the GC Pride banner — or as a Collab.

How do I become a host?
Apply at Become a Host. We review within ~7 days.
Where's the full host training?
All of it lives on the Host training & help page — 5-step playbook, checklist, pro tips, and host-specific FAQs.
Host vs Collab — what's the difference?
Host events run under our banner with built-in RSVP, QR check-in and Pride Points. Collab events live on your own platform and appear on our calendar with a Collab tag pointing back to you.

Businesses & safe spaces

Listing your business and offering member discounts.

How do I list my business as a safe space?
Visit List your business. We review applications within a week.
Can I offer a member-only discount?
Yes. Once approved, open Edit my business and add a discount — it appears in the Member Discounts area for signed-in members.
How do I edit my listing?
Sign in and go to Edit my business.

Partner clubs

Connecting with affiliated run, walk and wellness clubs.

What are partner clubs?
