Rainbow Health Victoria hosts the Rainbow Tick Community of Practice to support and connect those working to develop LGBTIQ safe and welcoming services. The group offers an opportunity to ask questions, share challenges and develop good practice.
Rainbow Tick Community of Practice uses the Rainbow Tick standards as a useful framework to guide best practice, and is open to people from any organisation, at any point in a journey towards LGBTIQ inclusion.
