LGBTQ+ Inclusive Practice for Aged Care Services eLearning
Expand accessibility to your ageing clients by providing a safe, LGBTQ+ inclusive space that delivers exceptional person-centred care.
Duration: 45 minutes
Audience: All professionals in the aged care sector
The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety has recommended that provider specialisation claims (including LGBTI Specialisation) are reviewed to improve the reliability of the My Aged Care service listing. LGBTQ+ inclusion training is a key element of verifying these claims.
This eLearning is designed for people working with LGBTQ+ older adults to learn more about this community, their health needs and inclusive care strategies. The training covers a range of areas to increase your knowledge and confidence in working effectively and respectfully with LGBTQ+ older adults.
This eLearning answers your questions like:
- What do LGBTQ+ and different terms for gender and sexuality mean?
- What should I know about gender diversity?
- Why is inclusion important?
- What are the relevant care standards for LGBTQ+ older adults?
- How can I be an ally to my clients/patients?
The eLearning has 4 interactive modules:
- Introducing LGBTQ+ older adults
- Understanding the health and wellbeing needs of LGBTQ+ older adults
- Maintaining standards of care for LGBTQ+ older adults
- Applying LGBTQ+ inclusive practices into Aged Care
We believe the best way to learn about our community is from community members themselves. This eLearning was developed by LGBTQ+ subject matter experts and include case studies to learn from common scenarios in LGBTQ+ Aged Care.
This training is suitable for General Practitioners (GPs) and other clinicians to complete for CPD points.
