Training and Education

We take pride in sharing knowledge and creating a welcoming and inclusive community where there is respect for all people regardless of HIV status, sexuality or gender identity. Our reputation and the demand for comprehensive and engaging education packages is growing and Meridian is excited to be able to offer LGBTIQ+[Ai] Awareness & Inclusivity training to organisations, and businesses across the ACT and surrounding region.

All sessions are delivered by skilled and dynamic Meridian educators who bring a wealth of peer-based lived experience, professional experience, local knowledge and academic education. Our training methodology is a combination of presentation and discussion, incorporating multimedia, and practical activities. We have a 'no wrong question' policy to ensure all participants have an opportunity to fully involve themselves in their training experience.

All training is provided to small groups of up to 25 participants and can be delivered face-to-face or online via Zoom or WebEx. Active and engaged participants leave with new skills, new insights and a wide range of valuable resources, tools and strategies to enhance and build on their inclusive practice policies and action plans.

We can also work with you and focus on topics of learning and discussion specific to your organisation. 

Training sessions can be delivered at your workplace, online, at a venue of your choosing or the Meridian Pride Hub.
