Overcoming discrimination • Housing • Health • Plan ahead
Rainbow rights are human rights, and this toolkit identifies how older LGBTI+ community members can understand and action their rights, as well as providing information to the people who are part of their choices, supports and care.
COTA SA has partnered with the South Australian Government’s Office for Ageing Well to develop this resource and build awareness of state initiatives that safeguard the right of older people, aligned with the Future Directions to Safeguard the Rights of Older South Australians 2023-2027.
Access the Toolkit
This toolkit aims to empower LGBTI+ communities, in all their diversity, to assert and safeguard their rights over a lifetime. It brings together in one place the relevant rights and the laws and services that protect the rights of LGBTI+ people in South Australia.
You can search for information under key human rights themes including: Overcoming discrimination, Housing, Health and Plan Ahead. Or, you may find it easier to learn about your rights according to your life stage or planning for your next chapter.
The toolkit is in the form of an interactive PDF which you can download to have available when you need it.
