NSW Health Pathology strives to be an inclusive organisation for all of us

We understand it’s our responsibility to ensure:

  • LGBTQIA+ people (people with diverse genders and sexualities) experience equal health outcomes and;
  • LGBTQIA+ patients and carers experience comfortable, respectful pathology services.

NSW Health Pathology’s LGBTQIA+ Strategy in action

Our Strategy addresses the needs of people with diverse genders and sexualities and focuses on improving services for transgender (trans), non-binary and intersex people.

We’re introducing a range of changes to create inclusive services for people with diverse genders and sexualities including:

  • working with LGBTQIA+ staff to make positive improvements to our workplace culture that enhance their sense of safety and belonging to NSWHP
  • staff education focusing on simple things we can all do – such as using appropriate verbal and written communication – to ensure people with diverse genders and sexualities feel safe and respected in our care and in our workplaces
  • reviewing and updating internal systems and policies to increase equity, remove barriers and support the inclusion and wellbeing of people with diverse genders and sexualities, and
  • important additions to our laboratory and information systems to ensure we’re capturing accurate information and respecting people’s chosen names and their gender.
