🌈 Help shape inclusive care in Aged Care! 🌈
Do you work or volunteer in Residential Aged Care, including as a staff member, community visitor, or health professional?

We’d love to hear from you through the Pride In Our Work national survey!

πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ This research is part of the Rainbow Inclusive Aged Care Project, a 5-year national collaboration led by La Trobe University and partners including Southern Cross University, and us, QC. Together, we’re helping build a model of aged care that celebrates and supports gender and sexually diverse people in every stage of life.

πŸ’¬ Your input will help identify what enables and challenges inclusive care, shaping the future of aged care across Australia.

πŸ“… Survey closes 21 December 2025

Happy International Volunteer Day! 🌟
Every Contribution Matters. πŸ’›

Volunteering is not one size fits all, it’s an incredible range of contributions that build a better, more inclusive world. 🌈

From helping create a carnival float πŸŽ‰ to stocking a pantry πŸ›’, the tasks vary wildly. But the heart remains the same, the intention to simply show up and make a difference. πŸ’–

What drives this amazing service? Our volunteers often share their personal motivations:

πŸ’¬ "It takes my mind off other things for a while when I’m here and helping others."
πŸ’¬ "I’ve just moved to the area and want to connect with my community, meet others."
πŸ’¬ "I love the camaraderie of the team when I’m here and being part of the team."

Thank you to every single volunteer who contributes their unique skills, time, and authentic self. We see you, we value you, and we’re grateful for you. πŸ™ŒπŸ’œ

🌟 Today, December 3rd, we proudly launch I Exist in Our Communities across our QC and 2Spirits sites in Queensland!

To mark the International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD), we’re hosting morning teas from 10am–12pm at all our locations to celebrate connection, visibility and shared learning.

This year’s IDPWD theme β€” β€œFostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress” β€” reminds us that progress begins with listening to lived experience, challenging barriers, and ensuring everyone is included in our communities.

Our new I Exist resource shares stories, insights, and positivity from LGBTIQ+SB people with disability, created by community, for community.
Explore it here: www.qc.org.au/i-exist
