We support Diverse Gender, Sex and Sexuality
Providing culturally safe and appropriate services for our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (and gender diverse), Intersex, Queer (and Questioning) (LGBTIQ) community.
DPV Health is committed to supporting and improving our services to ensure that we are welcoming, culturally safe and provide appropriate services for our LGBTIQ community.
We are also committed to providing a positive work environment for our LGBTIQ staff, volunteers and students.
The discrimination and stigma experienced by members of the LGBTIQ community can lead to poorer health outcomes and delay accessing services compared to other Victorians. Therefore, we are working towards achieving our Rainbow Tick Accreditation to make our health services safe and friendly for LGBTIQ service users and staff.
DPV Health is an inclusive organisation that celebrates the diversity of all people within our community.
Pride in the North
DPV Health are members of the Pride in the North Network, a collaboration supported by local health organisations in Melbourne’s north: Northern Health, DPV Health, Nexus Primary Health, and Hume Whittlesea Primary Care Partnerships aiming to provide inclusive services in the North.
“As an inclusive organisation it is essential we stand beside our industry partners and the queer community to support gender and sexuality diversity in Australia.” – DPV Health CEO Don Tidbury
