We proudly support inclusion, connection, and wellbeing by sharing local services supporting our rainbow community
Building an inclusive and respectful workplace
Inclusivity is at the heart of the Bass Coast shire community, where diversity is valued and everyone is welcomed, respected, and supported.
At Bayside Health Regional, we are proud to be an open and inclusive organisation, committed to creating environments where people feel safe, heard, and empowered to be themselves.
By supporting inclusion across our workplace and creating a safe, inclusive workplace for everyone, we foster a culture of belonging, one that reflects the community we serve and strengthens the care and services we provide together.
Our Rainbow Community
We are lucky to be involved with learning more about our local rainbow community and what services we have to share with them. At Bayside Health covering the Bass Coast Shire we have a group of staff members that are involved with raising the awareness within our workforce through the Rainbow Ready Roadmap.
While sometimes you may feel like you're alone, you are not alone. Please feel free to contact any of the services listed below:
