What stage this service aligns with
All RPA services align with our staged operational model. This process guides the development of community inclusion and allows us to benchmark community standings to better understand how to improve outcomes.
That dose this stage means
At this stage, we tailor and deliver workshops and programs that turn anecdotal and research evidence into real-world practice—taking your LGBTIQA+ work to the next level. We focus on enhancing individual and collective capacity, strengthening skills, knowledge, and confidence in meeting everyday challenges, and providing better support for local practitioners, leaders, and changemakers.
In-Community
For LGBTIQA+ leaders, community members, and allies, we help elevate local advocacy, leadership, and community confidence. We ensure you have the tools and strategies to address resistance, hate, and vilification, as well as practical steps to make your community safer, more supportive, welcoming, and inclusive.
In-Organisations
For local services, settings, and organisations, we provide up-to-date, rural-specific, and LGBTIQA+-designed professional development for staff and volunteers. We equip key practitioners and leaders with the competence, confidence, and a practical plan to respond to resistance, hate, and vilification that may arise from local LGBTIQA+ inclusion efforts—ensuring they play a proactive role in creating safer, more supportive, welcoming, and inclusive communities.
RPA is supported by a dedicated team that effortless works to improve the lives our people in rural, regional and remote areas. Our team is formed by a diverse drop on volunteers.
Take advantage of this co-designed LGBTIQA+ inclusion resource, designed for regional and rural settings. These tools and real examples allow any group, service or organisation to take practical steps to LGBTIQA+ inclusion that are low-cost or no-cost.
