LGBTI specific- At VALS, we seek to provide support specific
to individual needs and acknowledge that while LGBTI Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people are incredibly resilient and resourceful, they belong to two of the most disenfranchised groups in Australia and often experience specific challenges related to invisibility, discrimination and exclusion. As part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion we are working towards the Rainbow Tick accreditation.
