LGBTIQA+ Safe Spaces: LGBTIQA+ inclusive primary care workforce training and accreditation

Overview

The grant opportunity aims to deliver health workforce training to ensure inclusive, culturally safe healthcare for LGBTIQA+ people in Australia, and a network of accredited primary care providers. The anticipated approach for LGBTIQA+ affirming care needs to be suitable for a broad range of population intersectional sub-groups. Applications from consortia are strongly encouraged, providing there is a lead organisation that is solely accountable to the Commonwealth (see section 7.2 of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines). The objectives of the grant opportunity are: • to improve cultural safety in primary care settings for LGBTIQA+ individuals through workforce training that is evidence-based and patient-centred, guided by evidence-based best practice and the Action Plan. • to reduce financial barriers for primary care providers and organisations to develop skills and be formally recognised as competent in providing health care that is safe and appropriate for LGBTIQA+ clients. • for LGBTIQA+ people to be able to readily identify and access safe and inclusive mainstream primary care services. • to increase prevention and early intervention care episodes and improve overall health and wellbeing for LGBTIQA+ people. • to establish a financially sustainable plan for ongoing provision of the program beyond the cessation of this grant opportunity.
