At AccessEAP, we recognise and respect the diversity, experience and strengths of people within the LGBTQIA+ community. We understand that each person’s journey is unique and we are committed to providing counselling and support with empathy, respect and cultural sensitivity.

We believe that everyone has a right to feel safe and understood, regardless of sexual or gender identity. We approach each individual with a caring and understanding attitude, and if we believe a referral to more specialised services is required, we will discuss options. 

Some of the specific areas where we can offer support to LGBTIQ employees include: 

• Coming out to friends, family or colleagues 
• Navigating privacy around your identity
• Support for trauma related to you identity
• Gender transitioning and affirmation at work 
• Deciding whether to pursue a gender transition 
• Relationship changes involving your identity
• Exploring or affirming sexual orientation or gender identity
• Starting afamily or raising children 
• Addressing stigma, bias or discrimination in the workplace
• Navigating faith, culture, or community responses. 

At AccessEAP, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the heart of what we do. We are proud to offer a Dedicated Line for LGBTQIA+ employees, providing a safe, inclusive, and judgement-free space where you can speak openly and comfortably.
