JewishCare NSW

Inclusion & diversity

JewishCare NSW is guided by a commitment to the principles of cultural diversity, gender equality and ethical conduct in the way we work and relate to each other. As part of this commitment, we strive to a high standard of care and to be a place of inclusion for all people.

Everyone belongs

JewishCare’s commitment to this means we need a culture and environment that embraces, respects and rejoices the rich and colourful diversity of our community.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ) people have the same right to access services as anyone else within the community. However, not everyone understands or responds well to the needs of LGBTIQ people. Experiences of exclusion and discrimination contributes directly to poorer health outcomes and wellbeing. To address this disparity, JewishCare looks to provide support for Jewish LGBTIQ community members, foster relationships with LGBTIQ service providers and organisations, and actively engage in initiatives that support and empower LGBTIQ people.

For more information about JewishCare’s commitment to LGBTIQ inclusion, or any of the other important projects currently underway, please contact our team.

Understanding and respect

Gender diversity

Being trans/gender diverse means a person’s gender identity/expression differs from the sex assigned at birth – traditionally only ever being male or female (a gender binary).

Intersex variations

Having an intersex variation simply means a person was born having the physical and/or biological features of both male and female sexes.

Pronouns

She/her/her & he/him/his are not the only pronouns people use – they/them/theirs is also used, by people who identify as being gender diverse or gender non-binary.

Equal rights

Recognising, respecting & advocating for LGBTIQ rights does not take away any of your own rights.

Inclusive communities are more resilient and harmonious than those that are not.
