- SBN Monthly pub night: We've moved our venue due to being unable to reliably get seating at the old place. You'll now find us at the Marlborough Hotel on the corner of Missenden Rd & King St in Newtown. Look for the pink/blue/purple candle on our table upstairs in either "The Deck" bar or in the "Level One" bar.
- With the turning of the year Bi-NSW memberships are now just $10 for the remainder of the financial year and because of an overload of t-shirts from our various Marid Gras Parade entries we're offering members the chance to purchase them at a discounted rate of $10 per shirt. That's below cost! See our membership page for details.
- Stay tuned for info on an upcoming Biversity dance party. If you're keen to help out send an email to biversity@bi-nsw.org.au

We Are?
Bi-NSW is the umbrella body for all the various groups within the bisexual community of New South Wales. It is an organization which provides an opportunity for bisexual and bisexual friendly people to meet together in welcoming, comfortable, safe, and friendly spaces. One of the aspects of our group that we pride ourselves upon is that we don't discriminate against anyone for whatever reason.
The founding group of our community is the Sydney Bisexual Network (SBN) who mainly get together for both socialising and fun times but also meet for serious discussions. We'd like to think everybody can get something out of SBN: new friends, worthwhile information, or bi pride.
SBN is not a counselling service (though we'll always have sympathetic ears) and we are also not a "pick-up club" or swingers group. People meet friends and even lovers at SBN, but we aim for a harassment-free social space where we can relate to each other, educate each other, and have fun.
Bi-NSW Inc. acts as the focal point for all Bi groups in the Sydney region. So if you need information about any Bi group or activity in Sydney we should be able to help you out.
How to give Feedback?
It's all very well to read a web site with info, but to get involved in discussions on what is happening you can either join one of the email lists, or you can drop by our blog at binsw.blogspot.com and leave your comments.
Of course for a more direct query you can send us an email at admin@bi-nsw.org.au
Searching for Info without Porn?
Our site is about giving information about bisexuality and the groups and events that are part of the bisexual community. Believe it or not there are similar sites out there that are about info, not porn. So we've put together a customised Google search to allow you to search a selection of non-porn sites for information on bisexuality.
SBN History
The group started as a result of the 1992 Queer Collaborations student conference in Sydney in August. We were known as "Love is Boundless" for a few months, and then changed our name to the Sydney Bisexual Support Network. As of 1997 we dropped the word "Support" from our name to help indicate that we're also a social and sometimes political group of people. In 2003 we helped establish, and became part of, Bi-NSW which is an incorporated association and therefore we became a formally recognised entity.
