LGBTIQA+ Safe Environments
BHN stands proudly with the LGBTIQA+ community. We embrace and celebrate the diversity, strength, and resilience of every individual. Our commitment is to provide inclusive, compassionate, and affirming healthcare for all, ensuring that every person feels seen, respected, and valued. Together, we foster a safe and supportive environment where your unique identity is not just accepted but celebrated.
BHN understands that within the LGBTIQA+ community there are some individuals who have unique needs due to their intersectional experiences. These people can include sex workers, First Nations communities, people with disability, and older adults. We are committed to tailoring our services to each person’s unique needs.
We recognise that LGBTIQA+ people face significant discrimination, including barriers to accessing health care services and employment, and are committed to working toward equity.
We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive and affirmative environment for our LGBTIQA+ clients, staff and volunteers.
Rainbow Tick Quality Standards and Accreditation

BHN is currently working towards Rainbow Tick accreditation and will be assessed against the standards in September 2024.
