South West Healthcare welcomes people of all gender identities, sexualities, sex characteristics, age, socio-economic and health status, cultures, abilities, ethnicities and religions.
South West Healthcare understands that LGBTIQA+ people can experience challenges in getting the help and care that they need. We also acknowledge that people may experience other forms of discrimination because of things like their race, gender identity, ability and age and being inclusive means considering all these parts of a person’s life and identity.
We are committed ensuring our organisation is safe and welcoming to all consumers and are working towards Rainbow Tick Accreditation.
Keep an eye out on the News and Events section for updates, LGBTIQA+ events and celebrations.
Rainbow Tick Accreditation is a whole of organisation process that embeds LGBTIQA+ inclusive practices within the organisation. There are six standards that organisations must meet to gain accreditation and you can find out more about these standards and the process by visiting Rainbow Health Australia.
