Inclusive aged care support for LGBTQIA+ people
This resource provides information to support ageing LGBTI people to access aged care that affirms who they are, understands their needs and supports their health and wellbeing.
Developed by My Aged Care, the resource explains how to find inclusive aged care providers, understand your rights, and access services that respect your identity, relationships and chosen family. It also explores what culturally safe and person-centred care looks like, why it’s important to share only the information you’re comfortable disclosing, and how to advocate for care that reflects your individual needs.
Whether you’re planning ahead or seeking support now, this resource helps LGBTI older people, their families and carers navigate Australia’s aged care system with greater confidence and access services where they feel respected, safe and valued.
