With marriage equality now a reality and a stronger focus on diversity in Local Government and our communities, the group aims to focus on the sharing of learnings, experiences and resources related to the LGBTIQ+ community and in particular Rainbow Tick accreditation.
Please note that this Special Interest Group is a closed group, open only to employees of a Victorian Council with a LGPro Council Subscription.
Local Government officers who are working in the LGBTIQ+ space, or working on/interested in learning more about Rainbow Tick accreditation for Local Government.
This Special Interest Group is supported by an online community. We believe that accessing knowledge from individuals who work in a similar environment is invaluable and should never be underestimated. Our communities are only for people working in Local Government and there are many benefits to participating in them. They are a great way to keep in touch in between meetings, by asking your fellow colleagues questions and sharing resources. You can also see who else is involved and get in touch with them quickly. Agendas, minutes, presentations and other resources will also be posted on the online community.
