Our commitment to inclusion

We acknowledge, value and respect people of all cultures, sexualities, beliefs, abilities, genders, and ages, and support their rights of access, equity and participation.

We understand that carers in Tasmania, whilst sharing the common theme of caring for a family member or friend, have diverse lived and living experiences, and we fundamentally believe that carers are the experts in their own lives.

Have your say

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands and waters upon which we work, live, and sustain ourselves. This land was never ceded, and we acknowledge that the Tasmanian Aboriginal people are its continuing custodians. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

We welcome, support and include carers who may identify as LGBTIQA+, carers with disabilities or from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. We value and respect the diversity of carers, their lived and living experiences, and recognise that carers are the experts in their own lives.
