This guide is an invitation to build communities where every newcomer—regardless of identity—can thrive. Developed for settlement practitioners, it walks readers through key concepts, historical context, cultural perspectives, and real-life scenarios involving 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and families.
More than a resource, it is a tool for reflection and growth. It encourages workers to explore their own assumptions, prepare for difficult conversations, and practice empathy in moments of uncertainty. Through practical advice and culturally aware examples, the guide helps create welcoming spaces that honour diversity and strengthen trust between newcomers and service providers.
