In delivering health and aged care services in people’s homes, Silverchain has a responsibility to demonstrate positive behaviours and strong policies to enhance the delivery of our services and visibility of LGBTQIA+ communities.
This helps to ensure our employees and clients are respected and empowered.
The importance we place on the diversity and inclusivity of our people, our greatest asset, reflects the diverse client population we serve and our commitment to providing the best care to all. At Silverchain, we define best care as care that is safe, personal, connected and effective.
We recognise that allyship is an important part of how we can support people still experiencing discrimination. Being an ally is about choosing to be visible and vocal for the rights of others, calling out bias and unacceptable behaviour, and using Silverchain’s voice to effect change.
Silver Pride Ally Network
The Silver Pride Ally Network works to ensure our environments are safe, welcoming and inclusive for all sexually and gender diverse people, whether they be employees, volunteers or consumers.
This supports our commitment to ensuring people are free to be their whole selves, where they can work, live or receive services in safe and positive environments free from harassment, discrimination or bullying.

Partnerships
Silverchain is a proud member of Pride in Health Wellbeing. Improving the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Each year, we take part in the Pride in Health and Wellbeing Equality Index measuring the impacts of our LGBTQIA+ inclusion and service provision, giving us a 360-degree feedback.
