Victorian healthcare professionals are invited to participate in a workshop about a new toolkit for addressing blood-borne virus and sexually transmissible infection related stigma and discrimination.
Produced by a team from the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (La Trobe University) with funding from the Victorian Department of Health, the toolkit is designed to support healthcare services to foster inclusion, equity and cultural safety in service delivery.
Designed in collaboration with Victorian healthcare professionals, the toolkit provides actionable strategies to support inclusive healthcare for people affected by BBVs and STIs. This interactive workshop offers professionals the opportunity to explore the toolkit, consider the different practice-ready strategies it offers and collaborate with other professionals and organisations to support inclusive healthcare and efforts to reduce experiences of stigma.

- Tertiary care
- Primary care
- Community health
- Aboriginal health services
