Drawing from ACON’s vast experience as the largest LGBTQ health service in Australia, and its 35+ years in supporting LGBTQ communities, Pride in Health + Wellbeing offers a variety of inclusion training options to meet everyone’s needs. Training can be presented in person or via online platforms such as Zoom or teams and are suitable for frontline staff, head office, executive or rainbow network members.
