Model and resources

Project participants will co-design a model of inclusive care for gender and sexually diverse people in residential aged care, as well as guidelines and resources to support implementation of the model.

The model is expected to support whole-of-organisation change to improve the quality of care provided to gender and sexually diverse people in residential aged care, and to promote residential aged care as safe places for gender and sexually diverse people to live, work in and visit.

The model is expected to strengthen values, relationships, communication, leadership, risk management, and education. The guidelines will support staff to implement the model, recognising the real constraints and opportunities within residential aged care.

Examples of co-designed resources to support implementation of the model include oral history videos, online information resources, good practice podcasts, photovoice showcasing lived experience, inclusive practice simulation resources, advance care planning resources, and best practice case studies on frailty, comorbidity and blood-borne viruses (BBV)/HIV.
