Specialisation Verification Toolkit

For many LGBTI older people, being recognised and respected for who they are is central to their wellbeing. As they enter the aged care system, it is vital that services demonstrate genuine commitment to inclusion and cultural safety.

The Silver Rainbow program supports aged care providers to achieve LGBTI Specialisation Verification, ensuring that policies, practices, and environments reflect the needs and rights of LGBTI communities.

The following resources have been developed as part of the Specialisation Verification Kit. They provide practical guidance for aged care workers and organisations on how to meet verification requirements and deliver care that is safe, affirming, and inclusive for LGBTI older people.

The Specialisation Verification Framework is an initiative of the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. To learn more, visit the website.
