Rainbow Ready Roadmap Information & Engagement Workshop
Rainbow Ready Roadmap Information & Engagement Workshop
On IDAHOBIT the Minister for Equality, Martin Foley, and the Commissioner for LGBTIQ+ communities, Todd Fernando, launched a new resource: the Rainbow Ready Roadmap. The resource builds on the rural and regional LGBTIQ+ Equality Roadshow and Regional Communities of LGBTIQ+ Practice that have been happening across Victoria since 2016.
The Rainbow Ready Roadmap has a set of tools, including a checklist and assessment tool, so that people in their region, town, organisation or group can assess what needs to happen so they are even more welcoming and inclusive of LGBTIQ+ people. There’s also guides for everyday settings and everything you’ll need to create a local LGBTIQ+ action plan.
For more information: https://www.vic.gov.au/rainbow-ready-roadmap
You’re invited to this information and engagement session to:
find out more about the Rainbow Ready Roadmap and how it can be used locally;
what’s happening locally to support LGBTIQ+ inclusion; and,
how you can be involved in making Bendigo ‘Rainbow Ready’!
