Several drag performances will feature, with 'Betty Confetti' hosting. Raffles and prize actions are running on the night.
"Mental health and suicide is a big issue everywhere, and certainly in the country ... the numbers out this way are something I think touches everyone in this community," Dr David Howe said.
Tickets cost $85, covering entry, food, and entertainment. Booking can be made online.
All profits go to Beyond Blue. The 2022 event raised about $24,000.
