Val’s LGBTI Ageing & Aged Care has compiled this list of resources to help you understand the experiences and needs of older LGBTI+ people in relation to supporting the delivery of rights-based, person-centred care, and your aged care obligations.

Val's runs two standing groups for people working in ageing and aged care: the LGBTI+ Community of Practice, and the LGBTI+ Social Support, Activities & Events Network. Both are places to trade good practice and talk through what's working in services with others doing the same job. To obtain meeting dates and agendas, join Val's mailing list.

COTA Queensland’s Sector Support and Development team believes every child has the right to be safe, to feel safe and to be protected from harm.
Guided by our organisation’s safeguarding framework, our team has completed a structured risk assessment of our sector-facing activities and undertaken targeted training to strengthen our ability to prevent, identify and respond to child abuse.
We are committed to acting promptly and appropriately if concerns are raised or disclosures occur, and to supporting safe practices across the sector.
