Embrace Working Group

At Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health we have established a working group who work towards creating an inclusive experience for LGBTIQA+ staff, and volunteers along with clients and community members that attend our service and events.  The working group plays an important role in the organisation’s quality improvement process and maintenance of our Rainbow Tick accreditation.  Below is the Embrace action plan that guides the group’s work.
