The Relationships Australia Queensland (RAQ) Rainbow Training is a suite of training modules designed to offer effective training for human services organisations in achieving best practice in service provision to clients of diverse bodies, genders and sexualities. This target group is often referred to as the LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex or queer) community. At Relationships Australia Queensland, we also sometimes refer to this community as the Rainbow Community. These various terms will all be used in this document, depending on the context.
The learning materials have been developed by RAQ’s Rainbow Program, in consultation with leading Australian support agencies, such as Queensland AIDS Council and members of the community.
The Rainbow Training modules introduce staff to essential skills and knowledge relating to Rainbow clients.
