🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ As we mark Pride Month in June, we are reminded of the importance of creating environments where everyone feels seen, respected, and safe. As an organisation, we embrace the diversity of our people, clients, and community. We are committed to an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and able to bring their whole selves to work.

At The Benevolent Society, our National Support Centre recently took part in ACON's LGBTQA+ Induction Training. Our Support Centre is the voice of our organisation, connecting potential clients with our services and supporting them throughout their journey with us. Reflecting on the response to the training, Siavash (He/Him), National Support Centre Manager says "We love it when education springs us to action and into something meaningful that will positively impact our clients."

Staff will also have the chance to participate in ACON40's sessions designed to strengthen allyship skills and confidence in understanding how and why it plays a vital role in LGBTQIA+ inclusion.

Being an ally is more than good intentions; it's an ongoing practice that involves awareness, reflection, and the confidence to act. It includes standing up for LGBTQIA+ rights even when they are not there to witness it.

Reconciliation Week is about strengthening the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples to create unity and respect across Australia.

The NRW theme 'all in', reinforces that reconciliation is an active responsibility - one that belongs to every one of us.

The Benevolent Society is committed to ongoing change as we embed culturally informed practice, uphold self‑determination, and deepen our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across our services, systems, leadership and policy work.

This year we mark a significant milestone in our responsibility to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with our first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Strategy. This Strategy reflects the collective insight, reflection, and commitment of many people within and beyond our organisation. As an organisation we recognise that reconciliation alone is not enough. This Strategy establishes our first organisation-wide commitment to lift ambition and strengthen the way we work so we can contribute to better outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities we serve. 🖤💛❤️

Today we reflect and acknowledge the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and pay our respects to those who were forcibly removed from their families under policies of assimilation and displacement.

We recognise the ongoing impact caused and together, commit to creating a future grounded in justice, peace and healing.

How you can contribute:
🖤 Attend community events or memorial ceremonies
💛Listen to survivor stories + hold moments of silence
❤️Engage in education about the history

Together we can take collective action to ensure such injustices are never repeated. For more information about National Sorry Day, visit the link below.

National Volunteer Week (18-24 May) celebrates the ongoing efforts of volunteers who make an impact within our communities. ❤️

Benevolent's Home Visiting Program based in Queensland is run by 15 volunteers who provide connection and support to local families. One of the volunteers is 70 year old Sue, who supports a mother of twins, Kat. 👩‍👧‍👧

🌱 Volunteer Coordinator Cassie has been leading the service for 7 years and says that volunteers play a vital role in the program.

"I cannot put enough emphasis on what it means for families to receive this support and feel seen and heard. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about how imperative our volunteers are to the continued success of this program."

🌱International Day of Families recognises families being a fundamental unit within the communities we live in. At The Benevolent Society we believe that all families are different and can sometimes face complexities.

The Intensive Family support program work with families over a 6-9 month period, offering in-home and case management support. Team leader Ashleigh says the biggest priority is understanding their needs and providing options so they feel connected to networks in their local community. Another focus is advocating for children whose voices sometimes can be overlooked. 👪

"Sometimes children can be misinterpreted so we like to provide that voice for them and capture that when we are working alongside the parents to see where gaps may be."

There are currently 3 million carers in Australia providing an estimated 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care each year. For carers, social connections are an important part of their support system to ensure they can also priortise their health and wellness. The Benevolent Society's Carer Gateway team deliver this assistance through peer support groups where carers can meet, discuss their experiences and share advice.

Joshua joined Benevolent's Carer Gateway team as a Peer Support Coodinator in May 2024 and curates peer support sessions to ensure every caring community feels genuinely comfortable and has opportunities for connection. 🌻

"We shape our approach to match what each group responds to best which means our programs constantly evolve as we try new things."
