The LGBTQ Inclusive Practice Webinar will help you improve your provision of person-centred care and elevate your clients’ overall experience. Strengthen your understanding of sexuality and gender diverse people and communities to deliver more inclusive, informed and appropriate care. 

There are three steps in our LGBTQ Inclusive Practice Webinar Training: 

1. Learners complete their online pre-requisite training (~1 hour)This is learner’s paced and includes the following steps
   1. Pretraining Survey
   2. ACON's LGBTQ Introduction eLearning (Formerly known as LGBTI Awareness eLearning) which has three learning modules:
      • Meet the LGBTQ Communities
      • Know the Facts
      • Learn about the Lived Experiences
   3. Learners attend 2 webinar sessions (2.5 hours each) This will be set on the dates and times of their registered group. Learners have to get online and join via the link. Furthermore, the webinar access link will only be provided to those who complete the pre-requisite training as we consider that a part of the learning pathway.
      1. Part 1 is a review of gender and sexuality, inclusive language, LGBTQ lives in Australia, minority stress, discrimination, harassment, intersectionality impact, and LGBTQ history
      2. Part 2 is about health priorities of LGBTQ communities and service providers, allyship, and how to of inclusive practice for service providers
   4. Learners complete their online training evaluation (~10 minutes)This is learner’s paced but since we don’t keep learners on our system more than a few months after their training it’s best advised to complete this step right after the second webinar training.
      1. Learners complete a post-evaluation survey after being marked as attended on our system
      2. Learners get access to their certificate and can print or save that as PDF
