Integrate strategies for respectful, person‑centred aged care
Older LGBTQ+ people have unique health, wellbeing, and social needs shaped by a lifetime of experiences — including periods of discrimination and exclusion. Without an informed, inclusive approach, aged care services risk unintentionally creating environments where these older adults feel unsafe, unseen, or unable to access the care they deserve.
The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety has recommended reviewing provider specialisation claims, including LGBTI Specialisation, to improve the reliability of the My Aged Care service listing. LGBTQ+ inclusion training is a key element in verifying these claims and ensuring person‑centred, respectful care.
This eLearning builds your knowledge of LGBTQ+ older adults, their health needs, and inclusive care strategies. Developed by LGBTQ+ subject matter experts and enriched with case studies drawn from real‑world aged care scenarios, it equips you with the skills and confidence to meet best‑practice standards and foster safe, affirming environments.
Ideal for all professionals in the aged care sector, this training supports you to expand accessibility, strengthen trust, and improve care outcomes for LGBTQ+ older adults.
