Does your organisation have the Rainbow Tick?

The Rainbow Tick supports organisations to understand and implement LGBTI inclusive service delivery and reassures LGBTI consumers and staff that Rainbow Tick organisations will be aware of, and responsive to their needs.

Standards are applicable to any organisation, regardless of industry, and supports organisations to develop and implement inclusive practices for the LGBTI community.

Carers Queensland is the first not for profit organisation in QLD to be accredited with the Rainbow Tick, joining a growing number of businesses in Australia offering a welcoming and safe workplace for people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex.

Dean Arcuri speaks to Jim Toohey, President of Carers Queensland about what was involved in getting the organisation accredited for the Rainbow Tick.
