The Department of Health and Aged Care’s Health Design Lab is inviting you and your staff to provide input on LGBTIQA+ healthcare.
The research aims to gain a deeper understanding of primary healthcare for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer and/or questioning, A-sexual and other diverse genders and sexualities (LGBTIQA+) people.
The design lab will be talking to primary care providers and practice staff across Australia, including South Western Sydney.
How to participate:
When and where: The Health Design Lab will be in Sydney between 2 and 13 April. If you have availability at a different time, please advise the design lab via email at Design.Lab@Health.gov.au.
Who: The design lab wants to talk with GPs, primary care nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals (eg physiotherapists or psychologists), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers, and health support staff who interact with patients (eg reception staff).
What: Taking part will include a one-hour interview (per person) at a time convenient for you and your practice. The design lab understands your time is valuable, so they have time slots both within and outside of regular business hours.
Reimbursement: Each participant* will be emailed directly with a $200 gift voucher as reimbursement for their valuable time.
*Please note, the design lab is unable to provide reimbursements to government employees if they participate in an interview during work hours.
