Aged care views wanted
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex Australians can have their say on aged care services with an online survey from UnitingCare Ageing.
The organisation wants to better understand community issues and concerns around aged care services to create a more inclusive service.
Attention on aged care services for the LGBTI community has greatly increased since July this year after the federal government announced the development of an LGBTI Ageing and Aged Care Strategy.
Other organisations, such as the National LGBTI Health Alliance, finished their own consultations on the issue in October.
UnitingCare Ageing LGBTI project officer Kellie Shields (pictured) said the organisation was an industry leader for inclusion.
“This survey is an important part of the process. I encourage everyone who identifies as LGBTI to participate and help us develop services that cater to diverse communities,” Shields said.
