Embracing Equality Pledge

As a service provider, we endorse the embracing equality charter and pledge to:

• Establish and maintain relationships with LGBTIQ+ communities and services.
• Ensure all staff receive LGBTIQ+ inclusive practice training.
• Protect LGBTIQ+ staff and service users from discrimination, including by promoting a culture of respect and inclusion,
  and embedding formal structures that promote the reporting of instances of discrimination.
• Ensure systems of care are safe and culturally appropriate for LGBTIQ+ people, including by establishing and
  maintaining referral arrangements with LGBTIQ+ services, and evaluation processes that ensure the cultural needs
  of LGBTIQ+ people are addressed when referrals and service needs are being considered.
• Improve organisational understanding of intersectionality to address different modes of discrimination and privilege, including but not limited to the intersections of people who are both LGBTIQ+ and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.
